Please clarify. Most RGB colors don't have a name constant associated with them.

Maybe look at the static final variables in Color?

Yep, set up a Map<Color, String> and fill them with those name, value pairs but reversed:

Map<Color, String> map= new HashMap<Color, String>() {{
   add(Color.BLUE, "blue");
   add(Color.RED, "red");
   ...
}};

Of course you can add other value pairs as well.

kind regards,

@JosAH
Would you want to do Map<String, Color> so you can get the value (Color) specified by the key (String)?

Nope, the OP wants to supply a colour value RGB and find the name of the colour.

Oh I was thinking of this more like shortcut names. "setColor(map.get("mySpecialColor"));"

Sure, that can have its use as well, but the little obedient puppy that I am, I just answered the OPs question.
