Try: rtb.ForeColor = Color.FromArgb(FgColour)

value of type "Integer" cannot be convert to system.color

Or if you are specifying the color as a known color, that is, the integer
corresponds to one of the KnownColor enums values, then you can also do
something like this:
rtb.ForeColor = Color.FromKnownColor(CType(FgColour, KnownColor))
