The Linear Gauge series doesn't changes face color (backcolor) 
Private Sub Form_Load()
TChart1.Legend.Visible = False
TChart1.Series(0).asLinearGauge.Face.Color = vbWhite
TChart1.Series(0).asLinearGauge.Face.Brush.Gradient.Visible = False

In order to change the back color via code you have to set the ShapeVisible property to True first, as Face is invisible by default.
The following code works fine here :

TChart1.AddSeries scLinearGauge
TChart1.Panel.Gradient.Visible = False
TChart1.Legend.Visible = False
TChart1.Series(0).asLinearGauge.Face.ShapeVisible = True
TChart1.Series(0).asLinearGauge.Face.Color = vbWhite
TChart1.Series(0).asLinearGauge.Face.Brush.Gradient.Visible = False
TChart1.Series(0).asLinearGauge.Face.Brush.BackColor = vbWhite
