GDI Colors seem to be wrong in DirectX

I am a newbie and I have problems with the colors(clYellow,clRed and so on)
that I use in the GDI functions (Canvas objetct, I get the devicecontext for
a dx surface with GetDC()). ClRed just doesn't want to look like red on the
dxSurface. Why this and how to manage it?

Hi,

Indeed the colors do not work. You have to define your own with the funtion
RGB(r, g, b: Integer).
