+    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.
