Is there a way to change the background color of a command button on a form from the default grey to another color?

The back/fill property when right clicking a command button in Design View is not activated.
 
No, there is no way to change it, but you can simulate it....

Create a label that appears as you want, with the colors and the like. Place the command button directly on top of this label. Make sure you force the command button to the front, so it is truly ON TOP of the label. Then set the command button Transparent property to Yes. The button is now invisible, but functional. The users see the label and when they click on it, the command button is activated.
