Hmmm... I think you can just declare your own struct, as in:

	public struct ColorType
	{
		public byte b;
		public byte g;
		public byte r;
		public byte a;

		public ColorType(byte r, byte g, byte b)
		{ 
			this.r = r;
			this.g = g;
			this.b = b;
			this.a = 255;
		}
		public ColorType(Color c)
		{ 
			this.r = c.R;
			this.g = c.G;
			this.b = c.B;
			this.a = c.A;
		}
	}

At least, that's what I used for returns to the LockRectangle call.

The SDK might have a default color struct defined, I can't remember offhand.

the soluction i found was to use

System.Drawing.Color

and the

Microsoft.DirectX.Direct3D.ColorOperator

module to manipulate them

from the ms dx9 sdk documentation:
