I try solutions at this post, but no one work well to me.

I implement this code to convert to System.drawing.color, and send to external routines.

private System.Drawing.Color AcadColorAciToDrawingColor(Autodesk.AutoCAD.Colors.Color color)
{
byte aci = Convert.ToByte(color.ColorIndex);
int aRGB = EntityColor.LookUpRgb(aci);
byte[] ch = BitConverter.GetBytes(aRGB);
if (!BitConverter.IsLittleEndian) {
Array.Reverse(ch);
}
int r = ch[2];
int g = ch[1];
int b = ch[0];

return System.Drawing.Color.FromArgb(r,g, b);
}

thanks
