    Yes, thank you! Since I made this post I've dug in pretty hard and what you suggested seems to be the only solution - fake it. Changing color at the system level even temporarily for artistic presentation is something I’m sure the user would be upset with seeing all their apps changed. Seems such a simple thing to have been implemented at the code level… Oh well, thanks nozbug.

    No, the border color is determined by a system-wide setting, changed by this Windows API function. That function won't however change border colors when the new XP-style windows theme is enabled. You could fake your own border by drawing on the form...
