How to set custom color in itext?

Question

Thank you for taking the time to answer my question.

I am creating a PDF using iText in Java. I need to set table column headers of a different color than value columns. I have a hexadecimal color value from Photoshop. I use PdfPTable with chunks and paragraphs. How can I set them to a different color than the ones that are predefined in the BaseColor enumeration?

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

You need to take an 8-bit hexadecimal color value and convert it to 8-bit RGB values.

Then you can create a new BaseColor with your RGB values.

cell.setBackgroundColor(new BaseColor(255, 0, 0));
