What's Delphi TColor format?

In Delphi, colours are generally represented by a TColor, a hexadecimal number in 4 bytes. The internal format of TColor can have five formats:

1. $00bbggrr -- Create using the RGB function
2. $010000nn -- Create using the PaletteIndex function
3. $02bbggrr -- Create using the PaletteRGB function
4. $800000nn -- Defined in Graphics.PAS using Windows constants COLOR_SCOLLBAR, etc. These negative values must be passed to the ColorToRGB function to have R, G and B components defined.
5. $FFFFFFFF -- If you create a TBitmap and do not define its height and width, the Pixels value will be -1 ($FFFFFFFF) and may cause range-check errors.
