When working with java.awt.Color, we see all this non human readable definitions of Colors. For e.g.: public static final Color COLOR60_SELECT = new Color (0xFF8500); public static final Color COLOR60_HOVER = new Color (0x5B67B0); public static final Color COLOR60_HOVER_BACKGROUND = new Color (0xB0C3E1); // private static final Color COLOR0 = new Color (169, 197, 235); static final Color COLOR1 = new Color (221, 235, 246); It would be a great feature to show the color in the tooltip when the color definition is hovered over, or alternatively, just draw the color next to the definition (or change the variable definition syntax to that color??). I am sure all the swing/graph library users will appreciate this.
