Thread: Need help with Java.awt.Color

I am having problem with the JRadio Buttons to change the font color in my code. What needs to be done? Also if I were to connect this GUI to another GUI and save font colors, how would I go about that?

  public CharacterCreation(){
 
    super("Character Creation");
    setLayout(new FlowLayout());
 
    textField = new JTextField("Your Army Color", 25);
    add(textField);
 
    //To remain true to the Game of Risk, instead of having individual name input for the game. 
    //I am allowing which army color the player wants to be.
    //When the game is done being written out, I hope to have the font of individual player text, to be the color
    //of their army.
 
    //In the future when the model is done, the character screen will prevent players from having the same color army.
