The Color struct has .A, .R, .G and .B fields.

For example:

Dim color As Color = Color.Olive
Dim r As Integer = color.R
Dim g As Integer = color.G
Dim b As Integer = color.B

Since all of the colors are of the Color object, you simply need to instantiate the color and call the Color methods that you want to.

You probably want something like this:

Console.Write(Color.Olive.R & " " & Color.Olive.G & " " & Color.Olive.B)
