Java versus Java Script

In Java, declaring a variable (x) as an object:

x = Color.RED;

it's OK.

The same thing in Java Script gives the error :"Color is not defined".

How to do it in EJsS?

JavaSscript does not have a Color class but you can create a color variable using any of the standard color names;  For example:

var c="Red";

Known color names are listed here:
http://www.w3schools.com/cssref/css_colornames.asp

You can use the rgb function of you can create a function that returns a color from three integers:

function rgb(r, g, b){
  return "rgb("+r+","+g+","+b+")";
}
