CColor enumeration

Names 140 common colours, and one fully transparent colour, as 32-bit ARGB values.

This enumeration belongs to the package; GDI+ has no counterpart. Each member is a Long in the layout of a Color: alpha in the highest byte, then red, green and blue. Every member is opaque (alpha 255), except Transparent. The names and the red, green and blue values are those of the named colours of HTML and CSS.

A member can be written with or without the name of the enumeration: White or CColor.White. The exact way to use one is to give it to the Color function, as in Color(CColor.Orange), which keeps all four bytes.

Warning 0.9.45.0

A member passed straight to a method that has an overload taking a Long (the rgb parameters of SolidBrush, Pen, Graphics.Clear and others) binds to that overload, which reads the value as &H00RRGGBB and sets the alpha to 255. The red, green and blue of an opaque member come out right, but the alpha is lost: SolidBrush(CColor.Transparent) is opaque white, not transparent. Write SolidBrush(Color(CColor.Transparent)) instead.

Note 0.9.45.0

A CColor member is not a VB colour. A VB colour constant such as vbRed, and the result of RGB, put red in the lowest byte and have no alpha. The BGR property of a Color returns its value in that layout.
