I have made continuous attempts and discovered some patterns in color conversion. The official documentation of QCursor mentions Qt::color0 and Qt::color1, which indeed follow certain rules. However, I found that the results I obtained are the opposite of the bit values.
As mentioned in my comments, I am currently inverting the bit values of the Windows original AND mask and XOR mask to match Qt::color0 and Qt::color1 as mentioned in the QCursor documentation.
