[IMAGE-SIG] SETINK - font colors on stamped strings

[E.M.L.]

I know my question might be obvious and so might be the answer, but what
is the way to set the font color that will be stamped onto an image to,
lets say, pure red?
i have got to white, black and some weird colors with the setink
function but i havent quite understood the one number color value.
is there any literature about this matter?
is there any other way to set the font color, ie. with palettes or
something similar?
i would greatly appreciate any help.
kindest regards
