  Sure.
  Font.color is a cardinal value, this is for example is black:
  alum1mAS1.font.color:= 0;
  
  And this is red:
  alum1mAS1.font.color:= $0000FF; // or 255;
  
  So, what you need is a field (integer type) with the color value:
  
  alum1mAS1.font.color:= <alumE."DataColor">;
  
  Or at even a function that calculates it for you:
  alum1mAS1.font.color:= GetTheColor(<alumE."AS1">);
  
  function GetTheColor(pData: variant): DWORD;
  var lData: integer;
  begin
  lData:= vartoint(pData);
  case lData of
  0: result := 0;
  1: result := $33;
  etc...
  end;
  
  end;

  Yes, try using the same codes as HTML.
  However, it's possible that they are coded inversely (RGB instead of BGR), so put as many colors as you can and test it.
  If the codes are inverted, you can convert it, but I'm not going to teach you how to do that, you will have to do a bit of research (and learning...)
