public class Color
implements IConstructable
Describes a color in an object. The color can be described by an RGB (red, green, blue) triplet, or it can be a system color constant, such as the color of a command button [Color.CONTROL] To determine the appearance of Color constants with which you are unfamiliar (for example, Color.CONTROLDARKDARK), display a form, and select the color as the background color of the form.

Returns the green component of the color.
Retrieves the green component of the color, even if the color is a system color.
Returns the red component of the color, even if the color is a system color.
Retrieves the red component of the color.
Returns the RGB triplet value.
Retrieves the entire RGB triplet for the color, even if the color is a system color.
Returns int the value of the Color object.
Retrieves the current value of this Color object. If this Color object is a system color, the high byte of the returned value will not be zero.
