*hPalettePtr*
: *optional* A **LongPtr** handle to a palette to use for translation. Defaults to **0**, which selects the default system palette.

The OLE colour format encodes either a literal RGB value or an index into the Windows system palette (such as `&H80000012`, the colour of a button face). **TranslateColor** returns the corresponding plain RGB **Long**, suitable for passing to APIs and properties that expect a true colour value rather than a system-palette reference.
