I'm trying to change the color in Java with the setColor(Color.XXX); command, but I want to use the Hex code for a color so I can use more colors. Does anyone know how to do this?

with what Object are you trying to use the method:

setColor(Color.XXX)

Graphics g, if I understand the question correctly.

you can't just use setColour(....) without referring to an object/instance.

Alternatively have you written this method?

Or are you talking about javascript?

Can you give me an example?

no it's java.

Since you are constrained, in default to RGB, see:

http://java.sun.com/products/jdk/1.2/docs/api/java/awt/Color.html

be easier to convert hex to R,G,B values

unless you want to make your own Color class with hex constructor...

btw, I don't think hex will give more colors as each hex pair has 255 values, each RGB index has 255 values...

example:

Hex={FF,CC,00}

R=255
G=204
B=0
