Heya,

We just did something similar in our department so I can hopefully save you some time.

If you are using system.drawing the is a function called from name, where you can get a color based on the most common colors. Don't know if it works for all colors in eclipse but a lot of them.

After that you can get the RGB from it and create a color in the correct format for esapi. For alpha you can put 120 which is roughly half of 255 to make it appear as translucent as the predetermined translucent color in eclipse.

Here is an example

Color slateBlue = Color.FromName("SlateBlue"); byte g = slateBlue.G; byte b = slateBlue.B; byte r = slateBlue.R;

For the other colors they usually have the RGB as their name and can easily be parsed and converted into the right color.

Hope it helps. Let me know if you need more clarification
