In the Windows Api and GDI, you can use the default window background color for drawing buttons and stuff (that slight greyish color on Win98 , WinXP + Classic Theme etc. ).

What is the rgb value for that?

So I can emulate the exact color in Allegro using al_map_rgb( r, g, b) ?

    It depends on the users settings.

    You should use GetSysColor function to retrieve the DWORD value and then use GetRValue, GetGValue, and GetBValue to retrieve red, green and blue component values.
