Loop through all the controls on your form until you find the instance of MdiClient. Then you can change its backcolor directly.

in vb.net you can do this .....

Dim ctl As Control
Dim mdi As MdiClient
   For Each ctl In Controls
       If TypeOf ctl Is MdiClient Then
           mdi = DirectCast(ctl, MdiClient) '/// cast mdi as the Control.
           mdi.BackColor = Color.Red
       End If
   Next

in C# you can do it like this ....

		MdiClient mdi = null;
		foreach(Control ctl in Controls)
		{
			if(ctl is MdiClient)
			{
				mdi=(MdiClient)ctl;
				mdi.BackColor=Color.SkyBlue;
			}
		}
