- 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.
