Get element background color in EA

How can I get color of element (eg. boundary) by using official API?

I assume that it's save in database in t_objects -> backcolor, but I cannot find property/method in Element to get it.

There is none. You need to use 

repository.SQLQuery("SELECT Backcolor, Bordercolor, BoderWidth, Fontcolor FROM t_object WHERE ...")

Coloring values in EA have simple RGB values without transparency. Each red, blue and green value can take an intensity from 0 to 255. The RGB itself is calculated by

 RGB = (blue * 256 + green) * 256 + red

The default coloring is equal to -1.

From my Scripting EA book.
