c# - WinForms MouseEnter this.label.BackColor

I want to change the BackColor of about 10 or more labels, but I do not want to write a new private void label6_MouseEnter(object sender, EventArgs e) function for each single label.

How do I address in one single function, the current label that the mouse enters uppon? Is this possible?

I thought something the lines of this.label.BackColor = Color.FromArgb(0,0,0); but this does not address the label..

Put few labels on a form and in the code behind write this:

public partial class Form1 : Form
{
    public Color OriginalBackground;

    public Form1()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
        foreach (var control in Controls.OfType<Label>())
        {
            control.MouseEnter += label_MouseEnter;
            control.MouseLeave += label_MouseLeave;
        }
    }

    private void label_MouseEnter(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        OriginalBackground = ((Label) sender).BackColor;
        ((Label) sender).BackColor = Color.Red;
    }

    private void label_MouseLeave(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        ((Label) sender).BackColor = OriginalBackground;
    }
}
