Assigning integers to colours

Hi,
I am doing a Mandelbrot program and am using the following code to plot
different colours depending upon the number of iterations.
Form1->Canvas->Pixels[x][y]=(Graphics::TColor)iterations;
The problem I have is that it will not display different colours as I have
not assigned values to the different colours within the set, e.g. 1 = clRed,
2 = clBlue and so on.
My maximum number of iterations is 50 so I don't want to write a big switch
statement that somehow assigns a colour to a number. I don't know how even
if I wanted to! :-)
Can anyone help please? Simple code as although I understand C++, I am not
skilled with the Borland components etc.
Thanks.
