How to set iemgui properties via messages was documented in Pd-extended
menu (but not in vanilla):

Attached patch [colormaker] demonstrates how to set RGB values using this
formula:

-(1 + blue + green * 256 + red * 65536)

where blue, green and red are integers 0 - 255

There is one caveat: many RGB values can not be saved because numbers are
stored with reduced precision.
