Thanks, Milo. But I am confident that I converted my colours correctly out of MapInfo. My resulting RGB values are what they should be for the colour it should draw. Just that it draws it based on RBG. Which makes sense, looking at the code snipped that Frank supplied. It clearly uses the second value for blue, and the third for green.
Regards,
Jacob

Extra note:
MapInfo uses a large integer to describe it's internaly used colors.
Here is a C# function to convert MapInfo color code to RGB: as you can
see, the MapInfo color code is in format BGR instead of RGB.
Maybe this has to do with your problem?
private static Color miColorCodeToRGB(Int32 miColorCode)
{
Int32 iRed;
Int32 iGreen;
Int32 iBlue;
Int32 _miColorCode;
try
{
_miColorCode = miColorCode;
//lColor = lColor \ &H100 'divide
//iGreen = lColor Mod &H100 'get green component
iRed = _miColorCode % 0x100;
_miColorCode = _miColorCode / 0x100;
iGreen = _miColorCode % 0x100;
_miColorCode = _miColorCode / 0x100;
iBlue = _miColorCode % 0x100;
Color _Color = Color.FromArgb(255,iBlue, iGreen, iRed);
return _Color;
}
catch
{
return Color.Transparent;
}
