The Color Structure

In .NET, colors are represented by the Color structure. The Framework also defines two classes that provide access to pre-defined color structures. The System.Windows.Media.Colors class contains a set of named colors based on the common “Internet-safe” color set. The System.Windows.SystemColors class defines static properties such as ControlColor and ControlBrush (we’ll talk about brushes in a minutes) that represent the Windows color scheme set by the user.
