Not as far as I'm aware, but here's my implementations that work for me:
/* colour */
float r, g, b; /* 0<={r,g,b}<=1 */
/* RGB -> Pd file */
int c = ((((int) (r * 63.0)) << 12)
| (((int) (g * 63.0)) << 6)
| ((int) (b * 63.0))) ^ (-1);
/* RGB -> Pd message */
int c = ((((int) (r * 255.0)) << 16)
| (((int) (g * 255.0)) << 8)
| ((int) (b * 255.0))) ^ (-1);
