Hi I wanted to ask a quick question. I have two classes. And within my main class i am able to pass in variable to three variables EyeColorR to EyeColorB and able to send them the my Eye Class under the consturctor class Eye. the catch is I need to also display it under JFrame as an actual image and the only way to apply the color is through a paint class under graphics2d. And how do i then call the variable i have set under getColor class in my eye class to the paint class under my Eye class.

Sorry if it sounds a bit confusing but thats the best i can explain.

Main idea: i want to transfer the variables of getColor to the public void paint(Graphics g)and set it to the color of iris in
g2.setPaint();
g2.fill(leftIris); and

g2.setPaint();
g2.fill(rightIris);


Eye class:

import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.geom.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.util.*;

public class Eyes extends JComponent
{
    int red;
    int green;
    int blue;
     public Color getColor(){
     Color eyeColor = new Color(red, green, blue);
     return eyeColor;
    }
    public Eyes(int r, int g, int b){
        red = r;
        green = g;
        blue = b;
        
    }
    
        Shape leftEye = new Ellipse2D.Float(150, 160, 50, 50);
        Shape leftIris = new Ellipse2D.Float(160, 170, 35, 35);
        Shape leftPupil = new Ellipse2D.Float(170, 180, 15, 15);
        Shape rightEye = new Ellipse2D.Float(290, 160, 50, 50);
        Shape rightIris = new Ellipse2D.Float(300, 170, 35, 35);
        Shape rightPupil = new Ellipse2D.Float(310, 180, 15, 15);
        
    public void paint(Graphics g){
        Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D)g;
  
   
       
       Color color1 = new Color(eyes.getColor);
        
        g2.setPaint(Color.WHITE);
        g2.fill(leftEye);
        g2.setPaint();
        g2.fill(leftIris);
        g2.setPaint(Color.BLACK);
        g2.fill(leftPupil);
        g2.setPaint(Color.WHITE);
        g2.fill(rightEye);
        g2.setPaint(eyes.getColor);
        g2.fill(rightIris);
        g2.setPaint(Color.BLACK);
        g2.fill(rightPupil);
    }
}

Main Class

import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.geom.*;
import java.util.*;

public class TestFace
{
 public static void main(String args[]) {
   JFrame frame = new JFrame();
   frame.setSize(550,550);
   frame.setTitle("How do you like my Face?");
   frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
   
   System.out.println("Hi, and welcome to the Face Generator 3000!");
   System.out.println("With this program you can edit either the eyes, face size or color, and the lips size or color.");
   Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
   System.out.println("What would you like to edit today?");
   String choice = input.next();
   

   if (choice.equalsIgnoreCase("eyes")){
       System.out.println("Editing the eyes lets you edit only one feature and thats the color!");
       System.out.println("What color eyes would you like?");
       System.out.println("(Input method is in RGB letting you customize it fully)"+"\n"+"(Blue: red is 135, green is 206, blue is 250)");
       System.out.println("red: a");
       int EyeColorR = input.nextInt();
       System.out.println("green: ");
       int EyeColorG = input.nextInt();
       System.out.println("blue: ");
       int EyeColorB = input.nextInt();
       Eyes eyes = new Eyes(EyeColorR, EyeColorG, EyeColorB);

       frame.add(eyes);
    }
   
   
    
   
   //Eyes Component = new Eyes();
   
  
   frame.setVisible(true);
  }
}

I think you may be confused about how many classes there are?
public void paint(Graphics g){... is just an ordinary method in your Eyes class. Like any other method it can simply use the variables of that class, including the ints red, green and blue that were initialised in the constructor.

so how wil i be able to pass the values that i used for red green and blue and passet to the paint. Meaning i changed it in the Eye class itself. for instance with EyecolorR and EyeColorG eyeColorB
