Colors

Hi,

I have the RGB & HSL values of some colors. I want to use to use the RGB or HSL to color the text on my screen.

And I need to change the background to white.

Please help me. I am doing this to associate some letters with colors and some other stuff that would be too complicated to explain.

Thx.


By the way the code below is the closest I got to what i want but I don;t have all the colors I want.

Code:

#define BLACK 0
#define BLUE 1
#define GREEN 2
#define CYAN 3
#define RED 4
#define MAGENTA 5
#define BROWN 6
#define LIGHTGREY 7
#define DARKGREY 8
#define LIGHTBLUE 9
#define LIGHTGREEN 10
#define LIGHTCYAN 11
#define LIGHTRED 12
#define LIGHTMAGENTA 13
#define YELLOW 14
#define WHITE 15
#define BLINK 128

#include <windows.h>
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;


int main()
{
	
	srand((unsigned) time(NULL));

	
  cout << "Hello World!" << endl;   
  cout << "Welcome to C++ Programming" << endl; 
  
  
    int k;
  	
  	do{
	  		  
  	 //SetConsoleTextAttribute(GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE), 2); //replace the 0 with a number for the color you want
	  // 0xFF0000           TextBackground(1)
	  		 
	SetConsoleTextAttribute(GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE), 3 );		   
			    
    cin >> k;
    cout <<"\n";
    int n = rand() % 26;

	char c = (char)(n+65);
	
	
		
	n = rand() % 26;
	char d = (char)(n+65);
	cout << c << d << "\n";

  }while(k == 0);


  
  
 return 0;
  }

You should use of course

Code:

SetConsoleTextAttribute(GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE), CYAN)

nicer than 3, eh?

Those are probably all the colors you can get, since you only have 8 choices and the ability to intensify them.

You can use a window application for more colors and features, but that is another story.
