How do I set the Tab Background colour so I have the whole lot as #292929?

#include <GUIConstants.au3>
$Form1 = GUICreate("Form1", 372, 225, 214, 154)
GUISetBkColor (0x292929)
GUICtrlCreateTab(32, 20, 305, 185)
GUICtrlCreateTabItem("tab1")
GUICtrlCreateTabItem("tab2")
GUICtrlSetResizing(-1, $GUI_DOCKWIDTH+$GUI_DOCKHEIGHT)
GUICtrlCreateTabItem("")
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
    EndSwitch
WEnd

cookiemonster,

This script colours tabs quite nicely: :)

You inspired me. 
But tell me what you think of such a modification:
#include <GuiConstantsEx.au3>
#include <GuiTab.au3>
#include <StaticConstants.au3>

; Tab colours
Global $aTabColours[4] = [0xFFC0C0, 0xC0FFC0, 0xC0C0FF, 0xC0C0C0]

; Create GUI
Global $hGUI = GUICreate ("Test", 400,300)
GUISetBkColor (0)

; Create label to cover tab "tab"
Global $ahColourTab[4]
For $i = 0 to 3
    $ahColourTab[$i] = GUICtrlCreateLabel("", 0, 0, 1, 1, BitOR($SS_NOTIFY, $SS_CENTER, $SS_SUNKEN))
Next
;~ Global $hColourTab = GUICtrlCreateLabel("", 0, 0, 1, 1, BitOR($SS_NOTIFY, $SS_CENTER, $SS_SUNKEN))

; Create tab
Global $hTab = GUICtrlCreateTab(5, 5,390, 290)
Global $hTab_Handle = GUICtrlGetHandle($hTab)

; Create tab items and colour them
For $i = 0 To 3
    GUICtrlCreateTabItem ("Tab item - " & $i)
    _GUICtrlTab_SetBkColor($hGUI, $hTab, $aTabColours[$i])
    GUICtrlCreateLabel('This is TAB #' & $i & ' content.',100,50)
    GUICtrlCreateTabItem ("")
Next
GUISetState()

; Pre sets of colours
For $i = 3 To 0 Step -1
    _GUICtrlTab_ClickTab($hTab_Handle, $i)
    TabEvent()
Next
_GUICtrlTab_SetCurSel($hTab_Handle,0)
_GUICtrlTab_SetCurFocus($hTab_Handle,0)

        Case $ahColourTab[3]
            _GUICtrlTab_ClickTab($hTab_Handle, 3)
;~         Case $hTab ; not needed because you click in Label not in Tab
;~             TabEvent()
    EndSwitch
WEnd

Func TabEvent()

    ; Set values
    Local $iTab_X = 5, $iTab_Y = 5, $iTab_Margin = 1
    ; Get index of current tab
    Local $iTab_Index = GUICtrlRead($hTab)
    ; Get coordinates of TabItem
    Local $aTab_Coord = _GUICtrlTab_GetItemRect($hTab_Handle, $iTab_Index)
    ; Get text of TabItem
    Local $sTab_Text = _GUICtrlTab_GetItemText($hTab_Handle, $iTab_Index)
    ; Place label
    GUICtrlSetPos($ahColourTab[$iTab_Index], $iTab_X + $aTab_Coord[0] + $iTab_Margin, $iTab_Y + $aTab_Coord[1] + $iTab_Margin, $aTab_Coord[2] - $aTab_Coord[0] - ($iTab_Margin * 2), $aTab_Coord[3] - $aTab_Coord[1] - ($iTab_Margin * 2) + 5)
    ; Set text
    GUICtrlSetData($ahColourTab[$iTab_Index], $sTab_Text)

    GUICtrlsetBkColor($ahColourTab[$iTab_Index],$aTabColours[$iTab_Index] )
    ; Set focus

EndFunc

Func _GUICtrlTab_SetBkColor($hWnd, $hSysTab32, $sBkColor)

    ; Get tab position
    Local $aTabPos = ControlGetPos($hWnd, "", $hSysTab32)
    ; Get size of user area
    Local $aTab_Rect = _GUICtrlTab_GetItemRect($hSysTab32, -1)
    ; Create label
    GUICtrlCreateLabel("", $aTabPos[0] + 2, $aTabPos[1] + $aTab_Rect[3] + 4, $aTabPos[2] - 6, $aTabPos[3] - $aTab_Rect[3] - 7)
    ; Colour label
    GUICtrlSetBkColor(-1, $sBkColor)
    ; Disable label
    GUICtrlSetState(-1, $GUI_DISABLE)

EndFunc   ;==>_GUICtrlTab_SetBkColor
 
EDIT:

I notice that my example not needed this:

;        Case $hTab
;            TabEvent()
