Saving Colors to a db

Hi,
I am saving Color values to a database as integers after converting the
color using the ToArgb() method. When I retrieve the color, I am
resetting it using the FromArgb() method. However, this doesn't
preserve the color name if the color has a name - as shown in this
simple test proc.
private void Button3_Click ( object sender, EventArgs e )
{
Color col1 = Color.DarkBlue;
int col1int = col1.ToArgb ( );
Color col2 = Color.FromArgb ( col1int );
Console.WriteLine ( "{0}, {1}", col1, col2 );
}
If I desire to save and retrieve Colors to a database and to preserve
the color name if it exists, I imagine I need to save a string of the
name instead of the argb value?
