    Implementing a random color..

    I have written this program but I now need to modify it so that if plots each line inside the for loop in a random color:

    import java.awt.*;
    import java.applet.Applet;

    public class Lines1 extends Applet
    {
    public void paint(Graphics g)
    {
    g.drawLine(0,0,100,50);
    g.setColor(new Color(255,0,0));
    g.drawLine(50,75,200,25);
    g.drawLine(50,75,200,26);
    g.setColor(new Color(0,255,0));
    for (int y1=120;y1<200;y1++)
    {
    g.drawLine(100,y1,200,y1+20);
    }
    }
    }

    Once again, any help is much appreciated.
    Cheers

    You can specify a new Color like this

    int colorInt=12345;
    Color c=new Color(colorInt);

    So you can basically generate random int's and create colors that way. - Check out Math.random().

    However, I'm not sure how it will perform if you do this by the thousands...
