Ah, so you /don't/ mean the desktop pallette.

My memory of this is a bit rusty, but isn't the colour number from 0 to 255
composed as %BBGGRRTT, giving two bits each to blue, green, red and "tint".
Then your three colours are formed by rearranging four bits each:
red% = %RRTT0000
green% = %GGTT0000
blue% = %BBTT0000
I'm fairly sure that you'll find it documented in the PRMs -- which, unlike
ArtWorks, are free online.
