Changing the color of a static control (Win32)

[paprica]

I'm trying to change the color of a static control from blue to purple.
I managed to change it to blue in the dialog initialization but I can't change it to purple after.

Here's the working blue color code:

switch(uMsg)
	{
	case WM_CTLCOLORSTATIC://wParam: Handle to the device context for the static control window.
						   //lParam: Handle to the static control.
		{
			if ((HWND)lParam == GetDlgItem(hwndDlg,IDC_STATIC3))
			{
				SetBkMode((HDC)wParam,TRANSPARENT);
				SetTextColor((HDC)wParam, RGB(0,0,255));
				return (BOOL)CreateSolidBrush (GetSysColor(COLOR_MENU));
			}
		}
	}

And here's the not working purple color code:

switch(uMsg)
	{
	case WM_COMMAND:
		switch(LOWORD(wParam))
		{
		case IDC_STATIC3:
		{
			SetTextColor((HDC)GetDC(GetDlgItem(hwndDlg, IDC_STATIC3)), RGB(145,25,139));
			return (BOOL)CreateSolidBrush (GetSysColor(COLOR_MENU));//is this needed?
		}
	}

thanks
