colorname

Syntax: %colorname(string)
Related: %rgb, %hexcolor

Converts the HTML color name in string to an RGB color value. Actually returns a value in #00BBGGRR format since that is what is required by the Windows API. The returned color is compatible with routines that can use any Windows color such as %roomcol. If the color does not exist, the clNone color is returned which has a value of 536870911.

Instead of a name as shown below, you can also specify s in the format #RRGGBB and it will be converted to the BGR color used by Windows.

Examples:

#SHOW %colorname(red)
returns 255

#SHOW %colorname(#FF0000)
returns 255

#CALL %roomcol(1,%colorname(#FF0000))
colors room number 1 in red.

The colours listed do not activate in cMUD. In zMUD more of them worked but in cMUD most do not.

I gave up trying to use the format $RRGGBB with %roomcol as that format generates a LOCAL VARIABLE error message.

Eg., (as onroomenter EVENT condition does not work) I manually get the room terrain info from gmcp and use that to trigger colouring the room.

I am trying a number of colours but only some work. It is very frustrating.

OK. 'colorname' (apparently) does not take localisation into account. Although the suggestion is that the #CALL to COM will use Windows colour definitions...it seems it only uses US colour definitions. Thus, eg., 'slategray' will work but 'slategrey' will not.
