Look in the online Help

Is it something like

R * (G * 256) * (B*256*256)

where i can find the online help?

Have you tried to press F1? ;-)
Menu ? -> C/SIDE Reference Guide

I have made a codeunit which can get the red, green and / or blue value from the Navision Color value as well as convert RGB to Navision:

(The page is in german but the codeunit is made with DEU and ENU text constants.)

The format is RGB (Red, Green, Blue)
Get the binary value for each, ie. 255 (dec) = 11111111

So, lets say you had a color 255, 0, 110
255 = 11111111
0 = 00000000
110 = 01101110

Combine the binary values (11111111 00000000 01101110) and convert the value to decimal = 16711790

Hope this makes sence.

PS: You can use Calculater.exe to do this

RGB Color Model
The system uses the RGB color model for specifying colors. This model specifies the intensity of red, green, and blue on a scale of 0 to 255, with 0 (zero) indicating the minimum intensity. The settings of the three colors are converted to a single integer value by using this formula:

RGB value:= Red + (Green*256) + (Blue*256*256)

Examples:

Red

Blue

To extract the settings of the red, green and blue elements from an RGB value, you can use this method:

Convert the RGB value to a hexadecimal value. This will give you a hexadecimal number with up to six digits. From right to left, each pair of hexadecimal digits is the setting of red, green and blue, respectively, and can be converted back to decimal. (If the hexadecimal number contains less than six digits, fill out the number with zeroes on the left.)

Examples:

RGB
Hex
Red
