convert RGB color to System.Drawing. Color?

I need to change my form's backcolor back to the design color after it
changes to
another system.Drawing. Color. In the backcolor design, the value is in RGB

me.BackColor = ...RGB(255, 255, 192)

This doesn't work. How can I change the RGB values to System.Drawing. Color?

Thanks

I think I figured this out.

me.BackColor = ColorTranslator .FromOle(RGB(25 5,255,192))

The trick is ColorTranslator .FromOle(...)

Take a look at 'Color.FromArgb '.

Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...
