Suhas,

just enter ?getcolor() into the command window. It will open a form where a table of the 24 most common used colors is available (At least at MS definition). Just select one, press ok. You will see the color number on your screen. If you extend this window, you will see the RGB values for the color selected, or you might the integer at the property or you might use the code Tore has suggested to get the RGB
