    Dim intRed As Integer
    Dim intGreen As Integer
    Dim intBlue As Integer
    Dim intAlpha As Integer

    Private Sub btnChangeColor_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnChangeColor.Click
        With ColorDialog1
            .ShowDialog()
            intRed = .Color.R
            intGreen = .Color.G
            intBlue = .Color.B
            intAlpha = .Color.A
            txtCurrentColor.ForeColor = Color.FromArgb(intAlpha, intRed, intGreen, intBlue)
        End With
    End Sub

Public ColorChosen As Color 
 Public ColorChose As String = ColorChosen.ToArgb 
 
Private Sub ColorButton_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ColorButton.Click
 
        ColorChosen = Me.ColorDialog1.Color
        ColorChose = ColorChosen.ToArgb
        TextBox1.ForeColor = ColorChosen
        ColorDialog1.Dispose()
    End Sub
