In Game Maker and ENIGMA, Color is represented as an integer, with 8 bits each for Red, Green, and Blue.
Usually, to obtain a color, you would use a return value from one of the make_color #Functions or one of the predefined #Constants.
You may provide arguments to the make_color function or even bypass the functions by using hexidecimal. $FF is 255, so make_color($FF,$FF,$FF) would create white. GM stores colors in the integer in BGR order, so the hexidecimal digits would be $BBGGRR, which means that $FF = $0000FF = red.
A number of predefined colors are already defined as constants.
The following is a list of color constants available in both Game Maker and ENIGMA, and their values (in #BBGGRR format).
