Try

Color bg = Display.getDefault().getSystemColor(SWT.COLOR_WIDGET_BACKGRO UND);

Color fg = Display.getDefault().getSystemColor(SWT.COLOR_WIDGET_FOREGRO UND);

bg and fg are system colors, you don't have to dispose them after using
them.

Hi Michael,

the background color of a text widget can be retrieved using
SWT.COLOR_LIST_BACKGROUND.

COLOR_WIDGET_BACKGROUND is the color of empty shell spaces (usually
gray) and therefore similar to the backgound color of an disabled text
widget.

Hope that helped,
Friederich
