Error when trying to set Grid.Background to accent colour

In my application the user can choose what colour they would like a particular feature of the app to be.

They can choose from a variety of colours which works fine, however when trying to set the Grid's background to the accent colours; when chosen, a NullReferenceException was unhandled error appears.

The code I am using is:

Color accentColour = (Color)Application.Current.Resources["PhoneAccentColor"];
gridColour.Background = new SolidColorBrush(accentColour);

Anyone know what I am doing wrong? (I've also tried using a Rectangle and it's .Fill property).

Thanks.

You can try that code in OnNavigatedTo Event. Its Working.

protected override void OnNavigatedTo(NavigationEventArgs e)
{
    base.OnNavigatedTo(e);
    Color accentColour = (Color)Application.Current.Resources["PhoneAccentColor"];
    ContentPanel.Background = new SolidColorBrush(accentColour);
}

I guess you can easily do this by binding the PhoneAccent color within your XAML for your Grid.
