setting color in JTextfield object

[capp luckett]

Hi (again):
I am trying to set the value place in the field defined below]
to yellow. Would this be the correct syntax? ( I am concerned
that a literal would be put in the field.)
thanks
capp

// object defined
JTextField       monthlyWageout = new TextField(7);
// monthlyWageout added as part of a gridbaglayout object
getContentPane().add(monthlyWageout,  7, 1, 1, bFill);
// setting color to monthlyWageout
monthlyWageout.setText("font color=yellow");

I'm not a swing expert (yet), but I do believe that that would put the String literal "font color=yellow" inside your JTextField and it would be black still. Maybe try the method Wageout.setForeground (Color.yellow);
I forgot what your textfield is called exactly, but you see what I mean. That should? set the text color. If I'm wrong, please someone correct me.
