I've seen source code for some third-party controls, and their 2003 colors
are static colors. I can't post them here, but they don't seem to be based
on the system colors. They might actually be, but the code I've seen is
just static RGB values. The colors are based on the current XP theme (for
XP systems), and for non-XP (or XP with themes disabled) systems, the colors
chosen are usually percentage combinations of the system colors (for
example, 70% Desktop and 30% Window.) I can't post those combination here
either.
What I usually do is get a tool like Pixie (which will tell you the RGB
value of any pixel on the screen) and figure it out myself. It's a pain,
but if you don't have the actual colors at your disposal, I don't know of
any other way.
