You can get system color from System.Windows.SystemColors

button2.Background = System.Windows.SystemColors.MenuHighlightBrush;

WPF Background is of type System.Windows.Media.Brush. You can set another color like this:

// using System.Windows.Media;

button2.Background = Brushes.White;

button2.Background = new SolidColorBrush(Color.White);

button2.Background = new SolidColorBrush(Color.FromArgb(0xFF, 0xFF, 0, 0);

Background is of type Brush. But you can create a solid brush out of the system color and use that.

SolidBrush systemColorBrush = new SolidBrush(systemColor); // Create SolidBrush from color
button2.Background = systemColorBrush;

You can try something like:

button2.Background = SystemColors.ActiveCaptionBrush;

SystemColors belong to the System.Windows namespace.
