Naomi,

>What does the return of the function look like? Anyway, as Tore noted, RGB() would work as well. I was just trying to find some help on this command online and looks like this is an undocumented feature. At least not in the current MSDN online.

This is from the help of 2.6 Windows on @SAY command

For a list of colors and their corresponding color letters, see SET COLOR Commands Overview or Color Table by Color Pair.
A color pair can also be specified with a set of 6 RGB (Red Green Blue) color values separated by commas.  The first 3 color values specify the foreground color and the second 
3 color values specify the background color.  The color values can range from 0 through 255.  
The R/W color pair in the example above can also be specified with this RGB color pair:



RGB(255,0,0,255,255,255)



For example:



@ 2, 2 SAY 'This is red on white' COLOR R/W
@ 4, 2 SAY 'This is Color Scheme 16' COLOR SCHEME 16
IF _WINDOWS		&& FoxPro for Windows.
	@ 6, 2 SAY 'This is red on white' COLOR RGB(255,0,0,255,255,225)
