color

I want to find out the RGB values for a string value
for example i want to find the RGB values for "Azure"
or in other hand i want to find the hexvalue of that color ,no difference
How can i do that ?

I don't understand exactly what you want to do, but take a look at the static decode() method of the awt.Color class. Once you got the Color, you can extract the RGB values with the respective methods.

let me explain it in more details
I have a list which it contains color names (such as blue,azure, cyan,LightSeaGreen, LemonChiffon and so on)
Now i want when i choose a color in my list i want to view the hexvalue of that specified color.
for using decode i have to give the hexvalue of the color as argument .so i cant use it here,
thanks

Use getBlue(), getGreen() & getRed() of Color to get integer values for the given Color. Use toHexString(int i) of Interger class to get hex for that int. Depending on ur requirement, u can concat it & display or whatever...
