Convert String to Color object

807591May 10 2008 — edited May 10 2008

Hi, I was wondering if there is a way to convert a string into a color object.

JTextArea text;
String blue = "blue";

Color col = Color.getColor(blue);

text.setBackground(col);

I found that example online but the Color object col returns a null value. Any ideas?
