A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
In a textfield, under certain circumstances i like to change the background color to GREEN. And when the circumstances are not true anymore, I would like to restore the color back to what it was at the beginning ( ie default ).
I can set the color to what looks like green. BUT i cannot restore the color back to the original background color. Its close, but does not match.

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Run sample. hit green button. hit default button.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
i expected the default background color to be set for textfield.
ACTUAL -
a close color is substituted.

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
