Hex Color Codes Displaying Weird

[Kihunter]

I'm using hex codes such as e45c10 and image_blend to colorize a pure white object. However, the colors are completely wrong when I run the code.

Example: $0078ff should be blue, but it displays orange. $00ecdc should be a lighter shade of blue, but it ends up green.

Here's the code I am using, in case I'm being an idiot and got the sytax wrong:

Step Event:
image_blend = $0078ff

The red and blue byte are reversed -- so it's $BBGGRR. This is because Gamemaker's development is rooted in Delphi.

If you find this really annoying to deal with, you might want to check out the make_color_rgb function.

Thanks! I'm just swapping the blue and red bits; I only have 12 colors to work with.
