Apologies for leaving this so long.

Is this an issue for *all* Windows machines? The documentation for
COLORREF[1] suggests that Windows uses a byte format for *all* colours
of 0x00BBGGRR, which would explain this, but I thought it worked fine
on some machines?

Alternatively, I'm looking at the wrong documentation, however it
appears the code in w32term.c uses this COLORREF for colours as
defined in a face, so I think it's the right thing.

If this is right and Windows always uses this format, all we need to
do is format the SVG colour differently on Windows.
