>From memory TColor=longint
It stores a color in BGR format (ie $FF0000=blue, $00FF00=green,
$0000FF=red), where each color component is one byte, with the extra
high-order byte holding information about the system color it represents
(?).
A word, being only 16-bit aint enough to hold a TColor constant. Your
example of $FFFF is green and red mixed together making yellow.

Subject: [DUG]: Colour Problem
Hi all.....well now I have established the list IS still
working......lastnight I was doing some stuff with colours
I found that if I tried to set a variable with clWhite, I got a constant out
of range error.
The variable is of type WORD, dould I change this to longint instead ??
Also, if I set the colour and saved it to the variable with $FFFF (I think
it was) it always defaulted to Yellow !
BUt is my suspission about using a longint rather than a word founded ??
Thanks,
