PALETTEINDEX info  Overview  Group

The PALETTEINDEX macro accepts an index to a logical-color palette entry and returns a palette-entry specifier consisting of a 32-bit COLORREF value that specifies the color associated with the given index. An application using a logical color palette can pass this specifier, instead of an explicit red, green, blue (RGB) value, to GDI functions that expect a color. This allows the function to use the color in the specified palette entry.
