Hi John,

>>Anybody got experience with Colors? I have a database with colors as integers that I need to display the colors. The problem is they are RGB and not ARGB. When I use Color.FromArgb(int) I get a different color. If I try to break out the colors using color.A, color.R, color.G, and color.B I get values in the alpha part that I assume should be 255 if anything.
>>
>>The color.FromArgb() method is overloaded to allow me to create a color using only the RGB, but I can't find anything that allows me to extract a matching color from a single 24 bit RGB integer.
>>Thanks for any help.

The integer is a single integer and it is coming from a foxpro color. I am not sure about the order it was generated from but assumed it was standard RGB. I have the actual colors for some to compare once I find some kind of conversion but can't find any math or methods to let me do this yet.
