What do you need to know? There are lots of color charts, and it isn't so hard to learn how to mix R, G, B so that you get the color that you want.

Color wow = new Color(200, 190, 10);

> Color wow = new Color(200, 190, 10);That's a rather turtle-y green.

Could you show us a code example of what you are doing?I think you may have better luck at a "turtle" forum. I suspect your codeis using a "turtle" library that few of us know.

public class Turtle extends Object

{public static final double DEGREE = Math.PI / 180;

public static final int WIDTH = 760, HEIGHT = 600;

public static final Color RED = Color.red, BLUE = Color.blue,

BLACK = Color.black,GRAY = Color.gray,

YELLOW = Color.yellow,PINK = Color.pink,

ORANGE = Color.orange,GREEN = Color.green,

MAGENTA = Color.magenta, WHITE = Color.white,

LIGHT_GRAY = Color.lightGray,

TURTLE_GREEN = Color.darkGreen;

Color darkGreen = new Color(22, 114, 41);

that is the code from Turtle.java and i'm trying to figure out how to make a Dark Green where I can switch to it by doing

turtleName.switchTo(Turtle.DARK_GREEN);

turtleName.switchTo(Turtle.DARK_GREEN);Since you called your variable darkGreen, I guees the above line causes a sompiler error.

{ public static final double DEGREE = Math.PI / 180;

public static final int WIDTH = 760, HEIGHT = 600;

public static final Color RED = Color.red, BLUE = Color.blue,

BLACK = Color.black, GRAY = Color.gray,

YELLOW = Color.yellow, PINK = Color.pink,

ORANGE = Color.orange, GREEN = Color.green,

MAGENTA = Color.magenta, WHITE = Color.white,

LIGHT_GRAY = Color.lightGray,

TURTLE_GREEN = Color.darkGreen;

Color darkGreen = new Color(22, 114, 41);

turtleName.switchTo(Turtle.DARK_GREEN);

Answer: Make it:

Color DARK_GREEN = new Color(22, 114, 41);

Notice that those colors are a long string of "constant" definitions.

I would prefer to write them individually:

...

public static final Color TURTLE_GREEN = Color.GREEN;

public static final Color DARK_GREEN = new Color(22, 114, 41);
