Hi,
did you by any chance patch some system files to enable third-party themes to be used in Windows 7? Cause this surely looks like it.

The Shapes section ?

Can you be specific ?
What is wrong with your Paint.
Your screenshot looks ok to me. It looks almost like mine except the Shapes section.

2 suggestions :
1. If it is a recent problem, do a system restore. Pick the date when your paint ribbon has the proper colour as your restore point.

2. If system restore does not solve it, do a system file check. See if it will find any corrupt files and repair them if possible.

How long is long time ?
For your information only .....
The system also creates restore points periodically.
Why don't you start a system restore, and have a look at the list of restore points ?
If there are more restore points than shown on the list, check the box that says " Show more restore points ".
As long as you pick a date BEFORE the problem started, that will be your restore point.
P.S. If you cannot find the proper restore point, you don't have to go through the system restore routine.
Just click Cancel.

Sounds like sfc /scannow also fails you ?

Sorry to hear that. I don't know how to fix your Paint issue.
2 suggestions :
1. Move on to Snipping Tool which is included in your Win 7 Home Premium.
Paint is a rudimentary program anyway.
How to use Snipping Tool
How to Use the Snipping Tool in Vista - Vista Forums
2. Install a FREE software called Picpick. I use it and I love it.
It is the " free " version of the SnagIt 10 which will cost $50.
Pickpic works almost like SnagIt .... very versatile .
