I have an indicator that colors candles different colors based off set criteria just like a Heiken Ashi indicator would. Thing is you can't specify the color of the candles via the color tab and rather have to change the colors via the input tab and using easylanguage defined colors like "Green, LightGray" etc.

But in some of the easylanguage documents i've found you can also substitute these words with some kind of hexidecimal representation of the word as well.

Like the color Blue can be respresented by the word "Blue" but also as a RGBValue of 16711680.

How do you get the RGBValue?

I'd like to change the colors to different shades of colors rather than just use the basic red, green, etc.

Thanks for your help!

Just format any indicator, click on the color tab, then select other.... it then displays a spectrum of colors and it shows you the exact RGB values for that specific color.

Then in your indicator just type this ( for example ) ..... RGB(255,128,128) as a value in your input.

Hope this helps
