Output - Color Chooser Program in Java

Alright! If you are searching for a way to help your users to customize the java program by using various color options inside the program, then here is a way. Add this code inside your program to bring out the various color modes. If you are a good java programmer, then you should be able to break the code and use it in your java program easily. This java code has three different ways to choose the color for your program. You can choose from the Swatches, HSB or the RGB tabs. The code is written below. Copy and paste the code below in italics and add to a text document and name it as ColorSample_menu.java. Then compile the class as ColorSample_menu.

      if (background != null)             

   {
