These functions return the colour components as unsigned int and so promote to this type in arithmetic expressions, unlike unsigned char returned by the existing accessors without the "Get" prefix, which promotes to (signed) int and results in gcc 12 -Warith-conversion warnings when the result is then converted to unsigned, as it happened in our own wxColour::GetRGB() and GetRGBA() functions and would probably happen in a lot of code outside wx, which could also be updated to use the new functions instead of inserting casts.
