import java.awt.Color;

public class OperaColor extends Color {

  public OperaColor(int r, int g, int b) {
    super(r,g,b);
  }

  /**
   * Returns the HEX value representing the colour in the default sRGB ColorModel.
   *
   * @return the HEX value of the colour in the default sRGB ColorModel
   */
  public String getHex() {
    return toHex(getRed(), getGreen(), getBlue());
  }

  /**
   * Returns a web browser-friendly HEX value representing the colour in the default sRGB
   * ColorModel.
   *
   * @param r red
   * @param g green
   * @param b blue
   * @return a browser-friendly HEX value
   */
  public static String toHex(int r, int g, int b) {
    return "#" + toBrowserHexValue(r) + toBrowserHexValue(g) + toBrowserHexValue(b);
  }

  private static String toBrowserHexValue(int number) {
    StringBuilder builder = new StringBuilder(Integer.toHexString(number & 0xff));
    while (builder.length() < 2) {
      builder.append("0");
    }
    return builder.toString().toUpperCase();
  }

awt is java SE, it does not run on BB.

usually you define colors on a desktop environment, i use paint.net for example, and copy over the rgb code.
you can use "0xhexcode" to define a color for BB.

As far as a color picker goes, i never wrote the one i wanted, but you can find some suggestions about it here:

I am not clear on what you are asking here, but here goes. 

Most paint packages will give you RGB.  There is no need to calculate it. 

Colors on BB devices are represented by integers.  If you view this color in hex, it will look like

0xAARRGGBB

where AA is the alpha and RGB is as you would expect.  So

0x00FF0000

is just full on Red.

This is pretty much what the previous post is telling you. 

To paint a color onto a Bitmap, you will get the <Graphics> context, and then use

<graphics>.setColor(<custom color>);

then

<graphics>.drawText(...

or

<graphics>.fillRect(...)

Hopefully that is enough, if not, then can you ask the question a different way to make it clearer.
