TColor

Description

TColor is used to specify the color of a component.

You can use hexadecimal numbers to specify an arbitrary color.
example:

Form1.Color := $00DDEEFF;

where FF - red, EE - green, DD - blue.

If you are more accustomed to ordinary numbers, you can use the RGB function, where each color is specified by a number from 0 to 255.

example:

Form1.Color := RGB(255, 238, 221);

In addition, you can use text color constants

example:

Form1.Color := clWindowText;
Form1.Color := clRed;
