please help/critter java

[farahm]

ok so im writing a lion class for a provided critter program.
whts important for you to know is that
every 3 moves the "L" representing "lion" changes its color randomly between three colors, i cant figure out how to do that this is what ive got and it says statement unreachable, i know why but i cant figure out any other way.
i have this initialized:
private Color [] names = {Color.RED,Color.GREEN,Color.BLUE};
and moves is calculated in another method by incrementation
in the color method:
Random rand = new Random();
int num = rand.nextInt(3);
if(num==0)
{
return names[0];
}
else if(num==1)
{
return names[1];
}
else
{
return names[2];
}
return names[num]
if(move%3==0)
{
return names[num];
}

Hi.
see

import java.util.Arrays;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.Random;

public class RandomColor {
    private enum Color {
        RED, BLUE, YELLOW
    }

    private static List<Color> colors = Arrays.asList(Color.RED, Color.BLUE, Color.YELLOW);
    private static final Random rand = new Random();

    public static void main(String[] ar)  {
        int rt = rand.nextInt(3);
        System.out.println(colors.get(rt));
        rt = rand.nextInt(3);
        System.out.println(colors.get(rt));
        rt = rand.nextInt(3);
        System.out.println(colors.get(rt));
    }
}

I just wanted to point out that this...

Random rand = new Random();
int num = rand.nextInt(3);
if(num==0)
{
  return names[0];
}
else if(num==1)
{
  return names[1];
}
else
{
  return names[2];
}
return names[num]

if(move%3==0)
{
  return names[num];
}

is the same as this...

Random rand = new Random();
int num = rand.nextInt(3);
return names[num];
