Label Border Color Incorrect

[tomusn83]

Using Access 2010. I have a form on which I've placed a simple label. I try to set the label border color to black but it shows grey. I can set the border color to #000000 and it's grey. I set it to #000001 and it shows black as expected. I'm thinking it has something to do with the themes, but shouldn't an exact color code show as expected?

Thanks,

Frustrating aren't they? I normally use this table (http://www.endprod.com/colors/) to get the colors. It will auto convert the appropriate HEX value.

I'm pretty familiar with the color codes. The hex value #000000 should be black, vice grey. I was able to post an image... had to work around our corporate restrictions only to realize I have to have 10 posts to post a link - argh! Here's the text of the link anyway. tomusn.com/images/borders.png
