It would be useful to find a working example on changing Colors under the demo folder, for example how to change the background color of a form.

You can call SetBackgroundColor() on any primitive, including forms. (Be aware, though, that this function returns a Box, not a Form, so you probably shouldn't chain it.)

In case it helps someone else, aside from rivo's comment, I also found the presentation demo files helpful to understand how colors are used in tview.
