I cannot find how to set color of a Tab in the MDItabworkspace.

I can change the VisualTheme, and I can change the tab caption.  But how can I set the backcolor of an individual Tab?

(I want to have Groups of Tabs, and have all Tabs in each Group be the same colour. Maybe there is an alternative way to do this? )

SOLUTION (from Oleg -- thankyou)

>> Enable OneNote colors for Workspace.PaintManager

This works fine.  Now the tabs obey the  Item.Color  setting

As nobody has any suggestions, I have found that I can use Markup with the Caption to set text background color for a Tab. And also that I can set Item.Color in the Workspace_SelectedChanged(Item...) event, but only if CommandBars.VisualTheme = Office2003.

I wish I knew what I was doing....      or that the documentation was better
