Description

CustomColors is a TStrings property which contains the color names and hexadecimal values available in the color dialog. It allows a custom color palette to be used in place of the default colors for the platform.

Values added to CustomColors are in the "name=hexvalue" format. For example:

ADialog.CustomColors.Add('ColorA=FFFF00');
// or
ADialog.CustomColors.Values['ColorA'] := 'FFFF00';

The hexadecimal color value is 6-digits representing the RGB components for the color.

The default values in CustomColors are assigned in the Create constructor to the standard, extended, special, and system colors for the platform. It does not include the equivalents for clDefault and clNone.

Use Color to get the TColor value selected using the dialog when the Execute method was called.
