Color Hex
Taken from the Delphi 5 Help File:
If you specify a Color as a specific
4-byte hexadecimal number instead of using the Color constants, 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.
