RAID_CLASS_COLORSprovides a standard color for each class (as seen in the default who, guild, calendar, and raid UIs)CLASS_ICON_TCOORDSprovides coordinates to locate each class' icon within the "Interface\Glues\CharacterCreate\UI-CharacterCreate-Classes" texture
Unlike UnitClass, this function returns the same values for NPCs as for players.
