You could at least tell us what version of Windows you're using. Not all of us are psychics.

Go to START > Control Panel > Personalisation > then Window Colour down the bottom and pick a colour.

Don't click advanced, right above it says open color mixer. Do that.

BTW- you're not using a Windows Basic theme at the moment, are you?

Make sure Aero is on, run Windows Experience Index and do a system rating, if it doesn't enable Aero after that then your computer may not be able to handle Aero, from my experience anyway. Aero needs to be enabled so you can change the window color if I remember correctly.
