Every time I made a fresh installation of Dev-C++
(including 4.9.9.1), the gutter in the editor was
initially black. It turns to normal gray after I go to
editor options (even if I don't change anything).
It seems like some part of Dev-C++ mistakenly is using and
expecting integers values rather than colour names like
clWhite after initialization. NB: 16777215=$FFFFFF,
16711680=$FF0000.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:

But I find that at least you have to click the OK button.
Seems like some default values for the gutter aren't in
effect at initialization.

A comparison between a default devcpp.ini BEFORE any change,
and a devcpp.ini AFTER the change gives the following:
BEFORE
Break points=clWhite, clRed
Error Line=clWhite, clMaroon
Active Breakpoints=clWhite, clBlue
Gutter=clnone, clnone
Selected text=clWhite, clNavy
AFTER
Break points=16777215, 255
Error Line=16777215, 128
Active Breakpoints=16777215, 16711680
Gutter=0, -2147483633
Selected text=16777215, 8388608
