RW Color : n

Specifies the background color of the control.

Use Color to read or change the background color of the control. Colors are specified by number, the underlying 32-bit BGR color format is the same as for the Delphi TColor type, with some special values assigned when the most significant byte value is 0xFF:

local function H(s)
 return tonumber(s,16)
end

You can also build an arbitrary color from individual red,green and blue intensities with a function like the following:

-- red, green, and blue intensity values are integers from range 0-255
function colorRBG(red, green, blue)
 return red + Bit.Shl(green, 8) + Bit.Shl(blue, 16)
end
