Applications

Employ the drawing software palette to display a desired color

In the sample code above, we set a color by first configuring the values of three primary

colors

// Custom colour 

#define RED_VAL       255 

#define GREEN_VAL     255 

#define BLUE_VAL      255 

and then call the function

Color (RED_VAL, GREEN_VAL, BLUE_VAL);    // Set brightness, 0‐255 (darkest ‐ 

brightest) 

But how to determine these RGB value for a specific color. This can be simply achieved

by using drawing software "Paint" of the OS (take WIN10 as an example). The steps are

as follows:



Run “Paint"



Select "Edit Color".



Select the desired color in the palette.



Fill the displayed RGB values into the function "Color (RED_VAL, GREEN_VAL, BLUE_VAL)".



Recompile the upload the code.
