Red is #FFFF0000, no problem. But for Green, it is not #FF0FF000, it is #FF008000, this is very strange. Can some guy give me a explaination?

    Green is system-defined color that has the ARGB value of #FF008000, you can see it in Colors.Green Property. You can check it with adding System.Drawing dll to your project and using below code to get the name of it: 

     Color color = ColorTranslator.FromHtml("#FF008000");  
 Color color2 = ColorTranslator.FromHtml("#FF00FF00");  
 MessageBox.Show("#FF008000 Color Name is:" + color.Name+ "\n #FF00FF00 Color Name is:" + color2.Name);

    You can see the result picture:
