procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
var
SysColor: DWORD;

begin
// Get the clBtnFace Color with the GetSysColor function:
SysColor := GetSysColor(COLOR_BTNFACE);
// Show the Color-Constant, Farbe-Konstante anzeigen
ShowMessage(ColorToString(TColor(SysColor)));
// Show the Hex-Value, Hexadezimal-Wert anzeigen
ShowMessage(IntToHex((SysColor), 8));
// clBtnFace Farbe ohne GetSysColor ermitteln:
// Show the Color-Constant, Farbe-Konstante anzeigen
ShowMessage(ColorToString(ColorToRGB(clBtnFace)));
// Show the Hex-Value, Hexadezimal-Wert anzeigen
ShowMessage(IntToHex(ColorToRGB(clBtnFace), 8));
// Changing a Systemcolor with SetSysColors:
Kind := COLOR_BTNFACE; // Color to change, Zu wechselnde Farbe
Color := ClRed; // New Color, neue Farbe
SetSysColors(Kind, Kind, Color);
end;
{Note: The SetSysColors function changes the current Windows session only.
The new colors are not saved when Windows terminates.
