Get color from tocolor?

Hi guys. Is there a way to get an RGB color, after it gets converted in tocolor?

so something like this:

local colors = { 255, 255, 255, 255 } 
local c = tocolor ( unpack ( colors ) ) 
-- some function to convert "c" back to RGB 

local color = tocolor(255, 255, 255, 255) 
  
local red = bitExtract(color, 0, 
local green = bitExtract(color, 8, 
local blue = bitExtract(color, 16, 
local alpha = bitExtract(color, 24, 

(I couldn't use lua tag, because the text got formatted wrong because of '8)')

local color = tocolor(255, 255, 255, 255) 
  
local red = bitExtract(color, 0, 8) 
local green = bitExtract(color, 8, 8) 
local blue = bitExtract(color, 16, 8) 
local alpha = bitExtract(color, 24, 8) 

(I couldn't use lua tag, because the text got formatted wrong because of '8)')
