\section{\class{wxColour}}\label{wxcolour}
A colour is an object representing a combination of Red, Green, and Blue (RGB) intensity values,
Valid RGB values are in the range 0 to 255.
+You can retrieve the current system colour settings with \helpref{wxSystemSettings}{wxsystemsettings}.

\membersection{wxColour::Blue}\label{wxcolourblue}
\constfunc{unsigned char}{Blue}{\void}
Returns the blue intensity.
+
+\membersection{wxColour::GetAsString}\label{wxcolourgetasstring}

+\constfunc{wxString}{GetAsString}{\param{long}{ flags}}
+
+Converts this colour to a \helpref{wxString}{wxstring}
+using the given {\it flags}.
+
+The supported flags are {\bf wxC2S\_NAME}, to obtain the colour
+name (e.g. wxColour(255,0,0) -> \texttt{``red"}), {\bf wxC2S\_CSS\_SYNTAX}, to obtain
+the colour in the \texttt{``rgb(r,g,b)"} syntax
+(e.g. wxColour(255,0,0) -> \texttt{``rgb(255,0,0)"}), and {\bf wxC2S\_HTML\_SYNTAX}, to obtain
+the colour as \texttt{``\#"} followed by 6 hexadecimal digits
+(e.g. wxColour(255,0,0) -> \texttt{``\#FF0000"}).
+
+This function never fails and always returns a non-empty string.

\constfunc{long}{GetPixel}{\void}
-1 is returned if the pixel is invalid (on X, unallocated).

\membersection{wxColour::Green}\label{wxcolourgreen}
\constfunc{unsigned char}{Green}{\void}
Returns the green intensity.

\membersection{wxColour::Ok}\label{wxcolourok}
\constfunc{bool}{Ok}{\void}
-Returns TRUE if the colour object is valid (the colour has been initialised with RGB values).

+\func{bool}{Set}{\param{const wxString \&}{ str}}
+
+Sets the RGB intensity values using the given values (first overload), extracting them from the packed long (second overload), using the given string (third overloard).
+
+When using third form, Set() accepts: colour names (those listed in \helpref{wxTheColourDatabase}{wxcolourdatabase}), the CSS-like \texttt{``RGB(r,g,b)"} syntax (case insensitive) and the HTML-like syntax (i.e. \texttt{``\#"} followed by 6 hexadecimal digits for red, green, blue components).
