There is two way to set the backcolor

First way

set the combobox property

comboBox1.DrawMode = DrawMode.OwnerDrawFixed;

then implement DrawItem event handler (sample code below)

private void comboBox1_DrawItem(object sender, DrawItemEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.Index > -1)
        {
            e.DrawBackground();
            e.Graphics.DrawString(comboBox1.Items[e.Index].ToString(), this.Font, Brushes.Black, e.Bounds);
            e.DrawFocusRectangle();
        }
    }

Second way set the combobox property

comboBox1.FlatStyle = FlatStyle.Flat;

Then use the backcolor you needed for the combobox
