There are only a few standard colors available in the API - Java.Color. I want many more colors. I want to create my custom colors using some GUI color maker, then get the code for that and save it as a custom color which can be used later.

How can I do this ?

  • Overkill, but have you tried GIMP? Commented Apr 3, 2013 at 4:10
  • @WChargin - Gimp ??? Photoshop, 3dstudio max, maya ? why ? :) Commented Apr 3, 2013 at 4:19
  • If your intent is to be able to choose a color before compiling (e.g., the developer picks it, not the user; I'm assuming this because of the answer you accepted) then GIMP may be useful because it also has other color- and image-related functions. Plus it's free :) Commented Apr 3, 2013 at 4:20

Have a look at JColorChooser. It enable users to choose from a palette of colors. Read more at How to Use Color Choosers.
