+ 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.
