   1 \section{\class{wxColour}}\label{wxcolour}
   2
   3 A colour is an object representing a combination of Red, Green, and Blue (RGB) intensity values,
   4 and is used to determine drawing colours. See the
   5 entry for \helpref{wxColourDatabase}{wxcolourdatabase} for how a pointer to a predefined,
   6 named colour may be returned instead of creating a new colour.
   7
   8 Valid RGB values are in the range 0 to 255.

 210 application may add to this set if desired by using {\it Append}.  There
 211 is only one instance of this class: {\bf wxTheColourDatabase}.
