Color is used to specify the color of an object.

Unit

Graphics

type TColor = -(COLOR_ENDCOLORS + 1)..$02FFFFFF;

Description

TColor is used to specify the color of an object. It is used by the Color property of many components and by a number of other properties that specify color values.

The Graphics unit contains definitions of useful constants for TColor. These constants map either directly to the closest matching color in the system palette (for example, clBlue maps to blue) or to the corresponding system screen element color defined in the Color section of the Windows Control panel (for example, clBtnFace maps to the system color for button faces).

If you specify TColor as a specific 4-byte hexadecimal number instead of using the constants defined in the Graphics unit, the low three bytes represent RGB color intensities for blue, green, and red, respectively. The value $00FF0000 represents full-intensity, pure blue, $0000FF00 is pure green, and $000000FF is pure red. $00000000 is black and $00FFFFFF is white.

If the highest-order byte is zero ($00), the color obtained is the closest matching color in the system palette. If the highest-order byte is one ($01), the color obtained is the closest matching color in the currently realized palette. If the highest-order byte is two ($02), the value is matched with the nearest color in the logical palette of the current device context.

The following table lists the color constants from the Graphics unit. The first two columns list the colors that map to the closest matching color in the system palette, while the last two columns list the colors that are defined in the Windows Control panel.
