Need Help Trying to set an array for multiple RGB values

[JavaClass]

I'm trying to define a color by inputting multiple Red, Green, and Blue values from three arrays - although I can't seem to do so. I understand that this type of code may not be possible in the manner that i've written it... how can i accomplish this?

Here's the code:

import java.awt.Color;

public class colorSetter {
public static Color acolor;
  
    
    public static void main(String[] args){
       
        
      int[] redvaluesColor = {41,42,43,44,45,46,47,48,49,50};
      int[] greenvaluesColor = {71,72,73,74,75,76,77,78,79,80};
      int[] bluevaluesColor = {11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20};
      acolor = new Color(redvaluesColor, greenvaluesColor, bluevaluesColor);


}
}

I'm new to Java so any help would be much appreciate - thanks!

every RGB code has 3 colors right?

int aColor[][] = { {1, 2, 3}, {4,5,6}, {7,8,9}, {10,11,12} };
//You can call this by:
for (int i = 0; i < 2; i++){
   for (int x = 0; x < 3; x++){
        System.out.print(aColor[i][x] + "\t");
   }
    System.out.println();
}

Yes, and I'm trying to get it so that it has all of those combinations of integers for each R,G, and B. That code would require me to list every single combination out wouldn't it? Is there any way I could get it so it would check all of the different combinations as aforementioned?

Thanks!

I am not certain what you want to do but an RGB color can be created by calling java.awt.Color as follows:

import java.awt.Color;
...
Color aColor = new Color(20,20,20);
...
//You could then store the color in a list of colors:
...
List<Color> myColors = new ArrayList<Color>();
myColors.add(aColor);

Hi JavaClass, welcome to the forums.

The code written in #1 wouldn't work anyway as you are atttempting to construct a new color using arrays as the parameters.
See the link below for information on basic arrays.
Arrays (The Java™ Tutorials > Learning the Java Language > Language Basics)

Just to demonstrate a way to simplify your code:

import java.awt.Color; 

public class colorSetter 
{    
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
         Color[] colours = new color[10];

         for(int i = 0; i < colours.length(); i++)
              colours[i] = new color(i+41, i+71, i+11);
    }
}

The above code will generate a fixed array of ten colours, each containing the colours from your initial code.
I should point out this is not the only way of doing this. For example, as Jim has already shown, Lists can be used as an alternative to fixed size arrays.

Regards.
