I think you are asking an unanswerable question. How could anyone possibly know what the 20 most used colors are?

My opinion regarding colors comes from a completely different direction. Namely, the developer should control colors as little as possible and let the user see whatever colors they have set up in Windows. If someone likes pale blue text, why should I insist on red? To me that is arrogant.

?color2rgb(GetColor())

>>Here's my color2rgb function. It's a little "overkill" for your specific need, since it also can return only one color component, like ?color2rgb(16711808,'R') which will only give the red value. I need this functionality in some programs, so I created a generic function.

>>  lnRed = Mod(lnColor, 256)
>>  lnGreen = Mod(Bitrshift(lnColor, 8), 256)
>>  lnBlue = Mod(Bitrshift(lnColor, 16), 256)
>>  Do Case
>>    Case Pcount()=1
>>      lxReturn=n2c(lnRed)+','+n2c(lnGreen)+','+n2c(lnBlue)
>>    Case Upper(lcColor)='R'
>>      lxReturn=lnRed
>>    Case Upper(lcColor)='G'
>>      lxReturn=lnGreen
>>    Case Upper(lcColor)='B'
>>      lxReturn=lnBlue
>>    Otherwise
>>      lxReturn=-1
>>  Endcase
>>Return lxReturn

>>NB! Note that you can use the (numeric) return value from getcolor() almost anywhere, so there's really no reason to convert to RGB.
