MessageBox: Can't be done. You'll have to create your own class with similar functionality to which you can add the ability to change the colour.
ToolBar: It can be done but it is not as simple as setting a property. You need to draw the ToolBar yourself in order to change the colour. Here's an example of someone else's effort. The .NET 2.0 ToolStrip is much more functional than the ToolBar. There are also third-party options available if you want to search, but many will require payment.
TabControl: You set the BackColor of each TabPage. This won't affect the tabs themselves though. Again, you have to draw the TabControl yourself to affect those. I used to have a great link for that but I can't find it. Here's an example that gives some info.
