	    unsigned short green;
	    unsigned short blue;

Arguments

       red	 Specifies the new color red value.  You can express the value in percentages or by the X color values (0 to 65535).

       green	 Specifies the new color green value.  You can express the value in percentages or by the X color values (0 to 65535).

Description
       The DwtColorMixSetNewColor function allows the user-supplied color mixer subwidget to pass the current color values  to	the  color  mixing
       widget.	Using DwtColorMixSetNewColor is more efficient than using XtSetValues.
