Is it possible to alter a Color's RGB value ?

Question

I'd like the Color references I'm using to stay referring to the same object when I change the color values. So ideally I'd like to change the RGB values of these Colors, since making new Color objects is obviously not what I want.
Neither Color nor ColorSpace have anything to offer, and googling hasn't turned up much.
I have to do it this way, because several classes all have their own reference to the Color, so creating a new Color for one reference won't change them all.
Any suggestions?

Cheers for the blog post Kirill ;o) That's a really neat trick :)
Since every inbuilt Java class I know of uses
getRGB(), this is all that's needed :o)
No worries about the Java classes you don't know of,
or whether anyone else on your project might use
"getRed()" etc? And you've ditched alpha information
too.No-one else is working on my project mate ;o) And despite your sarcasm, you are right - there aren't any worries about Java classes I 'don't know of', since the colours I'm using are only read for rendering; nothing more. Every method I have that affects the colours deal with WebColor, so that's fine. Graphics.setColor(WebColor wc) works fine too, with my 'nasty hack', as you call it. So I'm more than happy, I assure you.
If it was me doing a nasty hack like that I'd at
least override everything so it was a stable nasty
hack instead of an unstable one ;o)Well that's the difference between us then; I don't do work that I know won't be needed :D
I'm just being facetious, because I was slightly offended by your taunting tone, itchy :oP I know you're right, of course. What I've said above is true, but obviously I agree that a stable class that can be used generically is far better than my case-specific code. I'll be changing my class to kilrillg's nifty code right now :o)
Thanks again Kirill.
