I took a look at the SDL documentation,
http://www.libsdl.org/docs/html/sdlfillrect.html
and noticed that they said that you should use the 'SDL_MapRGB' function
to generate the colour. In vala, this is
http://www.valadoc.org/#!api=sdl/SDL.PixelFormat.map_rgb

I also stumbled upon some example code that puts everything together:
