用户选择颜色后在jLabel中设置文本

Question

I am creating small application where user will select color by pressing button. I would like to when user selects the color from JColorChooser dialog and setup the color of application as background also to put name of the color in jLabel .

So far I have create following code:

private void btnChooseColorActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {                                               
    Color color = JColorChooser.showDialog(getContentPane(), "Choose color", Color.yellow);
    this.getContentPane().setBackground(color);
    lblColorSelected.setText("Color: " + /* here I would like to append code that will display name of the color what user have selected */);
} 

I have successfully created that user selects the color from dialog and color goes on application as background but only problem is that I don't know how to get the name of the colors selected by the user. Do you have any idea?

Answer 1

Assuming that there is a limited number of possible colors (for example, you only allow red, green, and blue), it might be easiest to simply use a switch statement or a brute-force if else statement to assign the names.

String colorName = new String(); 

//My syntax may be off here but you get the idea
if Color.color.equals(c)
{
    colorName = color;
}

If you allow any color to be selected, then MadProgrammer is right. This will let you display the hex values as a string.
