<Window x:Class="tests.MainWindow"
        xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
        xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
        Title="MainWindow" Height="350" Width="525" Background="Red" Foreground="Cyan">
    <StackPanel VerticalAlignment="Center">
        <Button>123</Button>
        <TextBlock>123</TextBlock>
        <TextBox>123</TextBox>
    </StackPanel>
</Window>

In the above code, only the TextBlock will “inherit” both the foreground and background colors. Shouldn’t the Button and TextBox have those colors too? Why don’t they have it?

    This is because Button specially opted out of Background value inheritance, in order to have consistent look. See en.csharp-online.net/WPF_Concepts—Property_Value_Inheritance for more details.
