Thank you very much for the help. I later found out how it works, the color
is a 24bit Integer with one byte for each color (RGB). Therefore I thought
the colors were cycling because I after 255 cycles it would restart with
blue but with a slight addition of green which I did not recognize. So the
formula is
color = (R << 16)|(G << 8)|B
where R, G and B are bytes for the red, green and blue value.
Cheers, Tobias
