<Interactivity:EventTriggerBehavior EventName="Click">
<Interactivity:ChangePropertyAction PropertyName="Background">
<Interactivity:ChangePropertyAction.Value>
<SolidColorBrush Color="Red"/>
</Interactivity:ChangePropertyAction.Value>
</Interactivity:ChangePropertyAction>

</Interactivity:Interaction.Behaviors>
</Button>
