Set form background color

I've created key in registry where background form color is saved (in format: ff8f8f8f, and string key is called myKey). The code which saves color in registry is:

if(cd1.ShowDialog()==DialogResult.OK)
{
string boja= cd1.Color.Name;
RegistryKey regkey;
regkey=Registry.LocalMachine.OpenSubKey(@"Software\myProject\1\options",true);

regkey.SetValue("myKey",boja);
regkey.Close();
}

What I want is, when I start my Form1 to BackColor be set to myKey value.
Can you help me!

Thanks

    When I write that, error message Cannot implicitly convert type 'object' to 'string' is shown Can you, please, fix that

    Sorry, my bad. Didn't tested anything, just wrote it out of the head. You need to cast the object return type to a string:


    private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
    RegistryKey regkey = Registry.LocalMachine.OpenSubKey(@"Software\myProject\1\options",true);
    string colorName = (string)regkey.GetValue( "myKey", BackColor.Name );

    BackColor = Color.FromName( colorName );
    }

    private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
    RegistryKey regkey = Registry.LocalMachine.OpenSubKey(@"Software\myProject\1\options",true);
    this.BackColor = regkey.GetValue( "myKey", BackColor );
    }
