Color data may be:
A 32 bit RGB value with the hexadecimal format 0x00bbggrr.
One of the indexes used with utility methods such as GetSyscolor and GetVSSysColorEx. or as a member of an enumeration such as COLORINDEX and __VSSYSCOLOREX.
The color values are the same as that of another GUI component -- referred to as a tracking value. The actual color value changes as the tracked color object changes.
