It's telling you right in the error. The Background property is of type System.Windows.Media.Brush, not System.Windows.Media.Color, so you can't assign a Color to it.

Pass a Brush into your method instead of a Color, and assign that to the Background property.

public void addToStackPanel(string argBuiltAlarm, Brush brush)
{
    ...
    TextBox textBox = new TextBox { Background = brush };
    ...

textBox1.Background = Brushes.Blue;
textBox1.Foreground = Brushes.Yellow;

You can do like this.
