I am using Delphi 2010 and if I create a new VCL application, drop a TPanel on the form and set its “color” property to “clInactiveCaptionText” it shows the correct color.

Correct color:

However, if I enter the hex value for this color ($00434E54 — R 67,G 78,B 84) it shows up incorrectly. I should note that the result is the same whether I enable runtime themes or not.

Wrong color:

Any idea on why it won’t correctly show this color when specifying its hex value?

    RGB color values are actually specified as BGR.

    So if you want:

    • red you need to specify $000000FF
    • green you need to specify $0000FF00
    • blue you need to specify $00FF0000
