Setting Color using RGB values

2006-01-25, 4:14 am

Hello,

I usually set the colour of my things (like setpaint and whatnot) by
doing something like g2D.setPaint(Color.magenta) (assuming g2D is a
Graphics 2D object etc.) but I would really like to customize my
colours. So I was thinking that setting the RGB colours individually
would be a good way to go about this. I did this all the time in my
assembler days, but Java is a far cry from that. I noticed that there
is a way to do this using a Color class (I think that was it), but I
can't seem to get it to work. I tried g2D.setpaint(Color(15,128,134));
but that didn't work (and I kinda knew it wouldn't) so I was wondering
how to go about this...

ttyl,

You could also create local references to color objects to reuse them.

Color red = new Color(255,0,0);
Color darkRed = new Color(128,0,0);
g2d.setPaint(red);

etc.
