C# - How to change Fore Color to custom RGB value

Question

I created a label and need to change the color of it programmatically to a specific RGB color code, if a certain event triggers.

I tried it like this:

statusStripTestLabel.ForeColor = new Color(128, 64, 64);

BONUS:

Set it to a RGBA color.

But I get Color does not have a constructor which accepts 3 arguments.

So how do I solve this?

Answer 1

statusStripTestLabel.ForeColor = Color.FromArgb(128, 64, 64); //Alpha is implicitly 255.

statusStripTestLabel.ForeColor = Color.FromArgb(255, 128, 64, 64); //Alpha is explicitly 255. You can change the value of the first parameter to specify the alpha you want.

Answer 2

What u are trying is somewhat right in JAVA. In c# it is,

yourComponent. ForeColor=Color. FromArgb(theARGB_Code) ;

*Note not all components support transparency
