Help with the usage of "SetCtlColors"

Can someone point me about how to use the SetCtlColors for text and background colors?
I read the doc, but still with 🧟

Syntax:

SetCtlColors HWND TEXTCOLOR BGCOLOR

Use hexadecimal colors like HTML (without the #).

Well I got this:



!define BGcolor "587CB8"  ;Color del TOP para BG

!define FGcolor "9C9C9C" ;Color de las letras (FONT)

;...

!define MUI_PAGE_CUSTOMFUNCTION_PRE "DirColor"

!insertmacro MUI_PAGE_DIRECTORY

;...

Function "DirColor"

GetDlgItem $0 $HWNDPARENT 1019

SetCtlColors $0 ${FGcolor} ${BGcolor}

FunctionEnd

And nothing... still the default 🙁

/edit
Does anyone already try SetCtlColors?

Done that... but no.
That's only the part that left to paint. I wanna paint the field
wich contains the installation path.

$HWNDPARENT is not the parent of 1019. Use:

FindWindow $0 "#32770" "" $HWNDPARENT
GetDlgItem $0 $0 1019
SetCtlColors $0 FF0000 00FF00
