4.5. System Pens and System Brushes
System pens and system brushes are pens and brushes that are used to create system colors. In this section we will discuss how to create and use system pens and brushes.

SystemColors represents the system colors in GDI+, providing static properties for system colors, such as ActiveBorder and ControlText. The second way to create system pens and brushes uses the SystemPens and SystemBrushes classes.
