pls any Color Space defined here
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/awt/color/ColorSpace.html

is HEX?  (for example, instead of

      Color bgColor = new Color(233,233,233);

I would like to be able to do

    Color bgColor = new Color(E9E9E9);

I'm trying to pass color values from an html file to embedded applet,
but am finding this a bit trickier than I thought given that (I assume)
you can only pass string literals from HTML to applet, and these color
values are not string literals (is E9E9E9 a string literal?  now that I
think about it, I don't know.....;) i.e., is it

    Color bgColor = new Color("E9E9E9");
  (probably not....;)

I just thought passing HEX values might be simpler than passing RGB
values (b/c if you pass RGB values, you're passing three diff. values,
i.e., three diff. integers (if I read the docs right..)
also it would be much easier to copy color value from PhotoShop in HEX,
you just copy value in field where HEX value appears in Color Picker,
RGB values are each in a separate field, and that's kind of a pain...
this color thing in doing java interfaces has turned out to be a bit of
pain b/c of these issues...)  would appreciate suggestions here..

thank you,
Frances
