Java - Basic, How do I get a custom colour working?

Question

I know this is simple to do but for some reason I can't get it working. I'm trying to create a custom colour in Java and it doesn't seem to be working.

import java.awt.Color;

Color deepGreen = new Color(34, 139, 34);
bar.changeColour(Color.deepGreen);

I've googled it and I can't work it out, sorry if I'm being dense.

Answer 1

By "not working" do you mean it says deepGreen cannot be resolved? You should have

bar.changeColour(deepGreen);

instead of

bar.changeColour(Color.deepGreen);

deepGreen is a variable you have just defined, not one of the Color constants.

This is assuming changeColor() accepts a Color as an argument.
