Why is it that GetSysColor() returns 0x10xxxxxx for some colors?  I
looked in my control.ini and sure enough, some of the colors
(including those shipped with Win 3.1 like Black Leather Jacket and
The Blues) are 0x10E0E0.

I thought GetSysColor() would only return an RGB, with the high-order
byte set to 0.  I've heard of the high-order byte being 0x01 or 0x02
(for purposes other than GetSysColor()), but never 0x10.  What gives?
This there some special significance to this value?

Many of my company's customers have such values in their control.ini
as well.  This is bad because it breaks our product.

Thanks for any response.
