RGB color listings on Win95/NT?

[Stewart Allen]

Is it possible to have widgets return their default color in RGB
format on Win95 and NT? It is making the implementation of a meaningful
color browser very difficult.

I understand the use of "System*" color names to accomodate user-defined
color-schemes, but there needs to be a portable way of getting at this.

Under Unix, you'll get default colors that have non-RGB names, too
(e.g. "black"). The correct way to get the RGB values for a given
color is:

winfo rgb <window> <color>

For example, on my system I get:

% winfo rgb . SystemButtonFace
49152 49152 49152
