If you are talking about constructing a colour code from red green blue values
to an encoded number, the format is:

int col = makecol(red, green, blue);

Your grey would be something like:

col = makecol(128, 128, 128);

Lower numbers are darker, higher are lighter. "col" can be used as the colour
paramater to line or drawbox type commands.

By just looking at your "323232" idea for a background colour, and my scientific
calculator, I assume it came out to be an odd shade of cyan/green? What colour
depth are you using anyway?
