Constructors

o Color 
  public Color(int r,
               int g,
               int b)
Creates a color with the specified red, green, and blue values in the range (0 - 255). The actual color used in rendering will depend on finding the best match given the color space available for a given output device.
Parameters:
r - the red component
g - the green component
b - the blue component

getRed, getGreen, getBlue, getRGB
o Color 
  public Color(int rgb)
Creates a color with the specified combined RGB value consisting of the red component in bits 16-23, the green component in bits 8-15, and the blue component in bits 0-7. The actual color used in rendering will depend on finding the best match given the color space available for a given output device.
Parameters:
rgb - the combined RGB components
