Remarks on Return Value
COLORREF is the return value type.  But, my guess is that is the old or previous value held by the device context.  Documentation just says that the return value is non-zero if successful.  If find this documentation weak or cryptic for new comers.  Older versions of Windows NT help used to be very well documented.  That quality seems to be missing here.
