How can I bind Foreground to a property

I can't bind foreground color to property...

I have this:

<TextBox Grid.Column="1" Grid.Row="1" Width="150" Margin="10,5" 
         IsReadOnly="True" Name="Output" FontSize="20" Foreground="{Binding Path=ForegroundColor}"/>

and:

private Brush foregroundColor;

public Brush ForegroundColor {
    get { return foregroundColor; }
    set {
        foregroundColor = value;
        OnPropertyChanged("ForegroundColor");
    }
}

private void CheckBtn_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e) {
    if (IsPalindrome(Input.Text)) {
        ForegroundColor = Brushes.Gold;
        Output.Text = "Yep";                
    } else 
        Output.Text = "Nope";
}

I'm just a beginner, so it is a simple project ;) Some sources to learn from are welcome... sorry for mistakes, i'm from Ukraine

If you have defined that property in your code behind class, you can set the DataContext of your window this way:

<Window x:Class="YourWindow"
  Title="Your Title"
  DataContext="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource Self}}">

After that your should be able to bind that property as your are trying to do.
