Use the .NET Framework’s ColorDialog class in your Label‘s click handler.

Private Sub Label1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) _
     Handles Label1.Click  

    Dim cDialog As New ColorDialog()
    cDialog.Color = Label1.BackColor ' initial selection is current color.

    If (cDialog.ShowDialog() = DialogResult.OK) Then
        Label1.BackColor = cDialog.Color ' update with user selected color.
   End If

End Sub
