Component Colour

Is there any way to give a component a color other than the available choices. Maybe use hexadecimal?

Hi
A problem. The color with hexadecimal #A50000 is supposed to be a deep red. If I use $A50000 it is blue (a very nice blue but not red). Any ideas?

LOL,Yes i just tried that and is very blue :-)

the answer seems to be everything is backwards.
ie:
procedure TForm1.FormCreate(Sender: TObject);
begin
 memo1.color:=$0000A5; {this = deep red}{nice color btw}
end;

it goes $(hex)00(blue)00(green)00(red)
so ff0000 is blue not red as should be..
strange huh :-)
