The Tooltip control properties BackColor and ForeColor have no affect on the GUI tooltips.

The tooltip control requires that the coloring be handled manually in the control's
Draw event. For this event to be triggered, the property
OwnerDraw must be set to true and
IsBallon must be set to false.
Here is an example of the
Draw event setting the
ForeColor and
BackColor:
$tooltip1_Draw=[System.Windows.Forms.DrawToolTipEventHandler]{
#Event Argument: $_ = [System.Windows.Forms.DrawToolTipEventArgs]
$font = New-Object System.Drawing.Font("Segoe UI", 9.75)
$tooltip1.BackColor = [System.Drawing.Color]::Black
$_.DrawBackground()
$_.Graphics.DrawString($_.ToolTipText, $font, [System.Drawing.Brushes]::GreenYellow, $_.Bounds.X, $_.Bounds.Y)
}
