## effective-background-color

Arguments: object &key base-color scratch-rgb

Returns the color returned by background-color for object if that function returns a color (rather than `t` or `nil`).

The value will be an RGB color (as returned by make-rgb). See hls-to-rgb and rgb-to-hls.

If the scratch-rgb argument is specified, it should be a RGB object which will be modified to be the effective background color. This avoids consing a new RGB object.

The base-color argument is used internally and should not be specified by applications.

If background-color returns `nil`, effective-background-color returns the color returned by default-background-color for object. (As of 5.0, background-color returns `nil` when no background color has been explicitly assigned to an object.)

If background-color returns t for a control, indicating that the control's background color should be the same as its parent window's background color, then the effective-background-color of the parent window is returned.
