I have a problem regarding changing appearance of a label. Here is the screenshot:

That is the color when you hover the mouse and I want it like that.
What I want is for it to stay that color when I clicked it. But because of my mouseleave control it would not work like I want it.

Here is the code:

```
   private void btnArchives_MouseEnter(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        lblArchives.BackColor = Color.FromArgb(9, 18, 28); //darkercolor
    }

   private void btnArchives_MouseLeave(object sender, EventArgs e)
   {
       lblArchives.BackColor = Color.FromArgb(15, 34, 53); //lightercolor
   }

```

I tried mouse hover too. It looked the same as mouse enter though.
Bottom line is I want the color to change to the darker color when hovered over them and change back to the lighter color when hovered out of them. But I also what it to stay dark color when I clicked it. And then turn back to lighter color then I click another button and that other button will now turn to darker color. Thank you!

EDIT: i used label instead of buttons. Im currently trying some of the comments below thank you very much.
