I tested everything
redColor, greenColor,blueColor are getting the values
The only problem with teh code is in these lines

Color mixColor=new Color(redColor, greenColor,blueColor);
//Color mixColor=new Color(255,255,50);

//g.setColor(mixColor);
g.setColor(mixColor);

Can anyone help please?

When I call g.setColor(Color.red) it works but the above code
Why? :(

I got it to work
Can someone please help me how do I change the background rather than changing just text color?

setBackground(Color c);

setBackground(Color c);

Thanks, it worked.
Only the last problem
Whenever someone enters value except betwen 0 and 255 throw an error message

I spent few hours but not able to understand why this doesnt works!

if((redColor>255 || redColor<0)||(greenColor>255 || greenColor<0)||(blueColor>255 || blueColor<0))
{

String title = "Greetings"; // Shown in title bar of dialog box.
String message = "Please enter values only between 0 and 225.";
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, message, title,
JOptionPane.INFORMATION_MESSAGE);

// g2d.setColor(Color.red);
// g2d.drawString("Please enter values only between 0 and 225", 20,70);
}
else
{
g2d.setColor(new Color(redColor, greenColor,blueColor));
}
