It would be very handy to have a tooltip displaying the current system color for the following constants :

#define COLOR_SCROLLBAR 0
#define COLOR_BACKGROUND 1
#define COLOR_ACTIVECAPTION 2
#define COLOR_INACTIVECAPTION 3
#define COLOR_MENU 4
#define COLOR_WINDOW 5
#define COLOR_WINDOWFRAME 6
etc..

Probably not something VA is going to offer to be honest. One problem is what happens when someone redefines these to mean something else. This can happen if they are compiling under Linux or some other operating system.

We would have to treat certain #define's differently to all others, and I can see this opening the door to all sorts of problems.

You can manually check up on the colour values quite easily by either looking at Control panel -> display -> appearance tab -> advanced

or by using a colour picker program, this is one I like:
