    @class wxColour

    A colour is an object representing a combination of Red, Green, and Blue
    (RGB) intensity values, and is used to determine drawing colours. See the
    entry for wxColourDatabase for how a pointer to a predefined, named colour
    may be returned instead of creating a new colour.

    Valid RGB values are in the range 0 to 255.

    You can retrieve the current system colour settings with wxSystemSettings.
