the TextField and TextArea use a color model which is not from this
galaxis.

Here is my example program :
import java.awt.*;
import java.applet.*;

public class xx extends Applet
{
   public xx()
   {
     TextField tf;
     tf = new TextField("", 8);
     tf.setBackground( new Color(104,194,248));

     add( tf);
     setBackground( new Color(104,194,248));
   } // xx
}

The color from the applet is not the color of the TextField.
Capture the color and you didn't beleave what you see.
