It just uses RGB values (either 8b integer or float). Once you know the values, you can just toss the color in like you would one of the named constant colors...

i know what u mean by RGB values, but im not sure how exactly to implement it, could u give me an example for setting a background of a JPanel to a specific custom color other then the standard java colors (white, blue, yellow....ect)

thanks

to set the background color.

to create a Color:

http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/awt/Color.html#Color(float, float, float)

Color myBlackColor = new Color(0,0,0);
Color myRedColor = new Color(1,0,0);
