I am trying to make a fullscreen text editor. I want the user to be able to change the background color of the richtextbox on form1 by changing settings on a second form, settingsForm. I can't figure out how to access and change the richtextbox's background color on Form1 from the second form without creating a new instance of Form1.

Try something like this (use actual control names for Form1 and richTextBox1):
Form1 f1 = (Form1)Application.OpenForms["Form1"];
RichTextBox rtb = (RichTextBox)f1.Controls["richTextBox1"];
rtb.BackColor = Color.Red; // or whatever
