Converting a color to its VCL string value

Title: Converting a color to its VCL string value Question: How can I convert a color to its VCL string value? Answer: The graphics.pas file has a ColorToString() function that will convert a valid TColor value to it's string representation using a predefined constant (if possible) or a hexadecimal string. The StringToColor() function provides the reciprocal function, taking a predefined color constant string or hexadecimal string and returning the TColor value. Example: procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject); begin Memo1.Lines.Add(ColorToString(clRed)); Memo1.Lines.Add(IntToStr(StringToColor('clRed'))); end;
