SDL2 SDL_GetRenderDrawColor only able to display black

Question

I am able to make a window with SDL2 and C++ that has a black background, as soon as I change one of the arguments from SDL_GetRenderDrawColor from 0 to anything else I get this error:

Error (active) E0167 argument of type "int" is incompatible with parameter of type "Uint8 *"

this is my code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <SDL.h>
#undef main

int main(int argc, char** argv[]) {

    SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_EVERYTHING);
    SDL_Window * window = SDL_CreateWindow("Test", SDL_WINDOWPOS_UNDEFINED, SDL_WINDOWPOS_UNDEFINED, 640, 480, 0);
    SDL_Renderer * renderer = SDL_CreateRenderer(window, -1, 0);

    bool quit = false;

    while (!quit) {
        SDL_Delay(10);
        SDL_Event event;
        SDL_PollEvent(&event);

        switch (event.type) {

        case SDL_QUIT: quit = true; break;

        }

        SDL_GetRenderDrawColor(renderer, 255, 0, 0, 0);
        SDL_RenderClear(renderer);

        SDL_RenderPresent(renderer);

    }

    SDL_DestroyRenderer(renderer);
    SDL_DestroyWindow(window);
    SDL_Quit();

    return 0;
}

I am working with Visual Studio 2019 Community, I already succesfully set up SDL2 in Visual Studio at my Workplace but doing the same things at home yielded this error.

If you want to set the render draw color, you should use SDL_SetRenderDrawColor. SDL_GetRenderDrawColor is used to get the render draw color.
