Swing setBackground Non-Color Class Values

Question

I am trying to color some areas of my swing UI, but feel limited by the use of the

.setBackground(Color.//color here

Is there any way I can use the hex values of more specific and unique colors (there isn't even a brown) in this? whenever I try I am shown an error.

You can use RGBA values to create your own colors and/or take a look at [these](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4129666/how-to-convert-hex-to-rgb) examples of converting hex to RGB — MadProgrammer, Sep 22 '13 at 21:44

try

new Color(int r, int g, int b)

for RGB

new Color(int r, int g, int b, int a)

for ARGB (a=alpha transparence)

How could I implement that with a setup like this, for which I get an error stating that Color is undefined for int,int,int: buton1.setBackground(Color(175, 178, 35)); – William Brun Sep 22 '13 at 21:50
