DocStr(wxColour,
"A colour is an object representing a combination of Red, Green, and Blue (RGB)
intensity values, and is used to determine drawing colours, window colours,
etc.  Valid RGB values are in the range 0 to 255.

In wxPython there are typemaps that will automatically convert from a colour
name, or from a '#RRGGBB' colour hex value string to a wx.Colour object when
calling C++ methods that expect a wxColour.  This means that the following are
all equivallent:

    win.SetBackgroundColour(wxColour(0,0,255))
    win.SetBackgroundColour('BLUE')
    win.SetBackgroundColour('#0000FF')

You can retrieve the various current system colour settings with
wx.SystemSettings.GetColour.");
