Hi Jacob

In FME use the Workbench and do as follows:
- open the source dialog (click on [...] of your source file
- choose "format attributes"
- expose "mapinfo_brush_foreground"

This will expose the MapInfo color. What you then have to do is
calculate RGB from it (see MapInfo Doc for that). Optionally expose the
"fme_color" attribue. See as well our color calculator for details:
http://www.tydac.ch/color/ (if you look at the source how it is
calculalted).
