How to get name of color from Color class

Question

Hi there,
I'm just starting my adventure with java and just on the beginning of this trip I found some issue.
How to get something like this:
String getColorName(Color var) { ??? }
String test = getColorName(Color.RED); // test = "red"; or test = "RED";Thank in advance for some constructive ideas

dcminter, would You say it in other words, because I'm not following You.
Do You mean by that to create class like below with some connection inside ??
public class ColorMap {
     private String name;
     private Color color;
public String toString() {
     return name;
I suppose that's one way to do it. Or you could just use the [Map |http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/collections/interfaces/map.html] interface.
Another option is to simply make the JButton the color it represents, instead of displaying some String with a color name. That way you could support any color pretty easily.
