This value is a 32-bit value used to specify an RGB color.
typedef DWORDCOLORREF ; typedef DWORD *LPCOLORREF ;
Remarks
When specifying an explicit RGB color, the COLORREFvalue has the following hexadecimal form.
0x00bbggrr
The low-order byte contains a value for the relative intensity of red, the second byte contains a value for green, and the third byte contains a value for blue. The high-order byte must be zero. The maximum value for a single byte is 0xFF.
To create a COLORREFcolor value, use the RGBmacro. To extract the individual values for the red, green, and blue components of a color value, use the GetRValue, GetGValue, and GetBValuemacros, respectively.
