Well, in the documentation is a chapter about colors and the format is 
described as 0xRRGGBB[AA].
However in the documentation for the drawgraph filter is written "The 
color is defined as 0xAABBGGRR". So it's impossible to use the 
predefined colors in this filter.
In the documentation should be a warning that the "bg" parameter must be 
in 0xRRGGBBAA format.
But in my opinion changing the code is the better solution.
