function StringToColor( const S: shortstring ): TColor; /home/user/lazarus/lcl/graphics.pp(1901,10)
Description

- given a colour name*like 'Blue*', returns the corresponding colour value

--> fix to 'clBlue' or better to 'clMagenta'

Strangely enough, the "Colors" map does not have 'clMagenta'. It has 'clBlue'. See const
Colors: array[0..106] of TIdentMapEntry = (...
in graphics.pp line 2349.
Does function StringToColor() work as expected?

Anyway I fixed the documentation to say 'clBlue' in r59118.
