Answer 1

MSDN - Enumeration Type Naming Guidelines

Use Pascal case for Enum types and value names.

And a definition of Pascal case:

The first letter in the identifier and the first letter of each subsequent concatenated word are capitalized. You can use Pascal case for identifiers of three or more characters.

For example: BackgroundColor

For future reference, Microsoft provides extensive naming guidelines for almost everything. You can find them at:
