The background color of what?

Certain parts of the Java UI on OS X using the default look and feel cannot be changed. For example, the background color on buttons cannot be altered in the default look and feel for OS X. You can change from the default look and feel to the cross-platform look and feel if you want. See the code example in the following post to find out how to manage the look and feel used

actually what i meant was changing the backGround color of the Jpanel accordingly to the XML file color:

<Color>

<code>cyan</code>

</Color>

Is there any code relevant to help? i am unsure of the coding for this...

Code: 
#import java.util.*;
#import java.awt.*;

// in class variable declarations
HashMap colorMap;

// in a constructor or initializer
colorMap = new HashMap();
colorMap.put("cyan", new Color(0, 255, 255));
// and so forth


// in the xml parser
panel.setBackground((Color)colorMap.get(colorString));
add error checking as you see fit
