>>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.

I just found the answer; it was there all along.
Color myColor = System.Drawing.ColorTranslator.FromOle(rgbint);

Works perfect!
