Chart Colors

[dloomis]

I have started color codong my bars, but I have a bad sense of color and would like some ideas on how to make the bar colors have more 'eye appeal'.

I need a background coice along with 5 colors for the bars.

I use lime for GoLong, red for GoShort, magenta for StayShort, cyan for StayLong and grey for DontKnow.

I looked at a color wheel, but dont know what that is telling me to do.

Any body else have a color scheme worth sharing?

My only suggestion would be to use "yellow" (caution) for don't know. It displays very well on a black background.

here is what I found out...

if Color.RGB(0,255,0) is red and RGB(255,0,0) is green
changing the 0 to 200 mutes the red and green but sill is the same 'shade' - or is it hue.

Any way this code

color= 200;

if(bar=="grey") {
setPriceBarColor( Color.RGB(color,color,255) );//greyish

}
if(bar=="lime") {
setPriceBarColor(Color.RGB(color,255,color));//keep going long
}

if(bar=="red") {
setPriceBarColor(Color.RGB(255,color,color));//keep going short
}
if(bar=="whiteL"){
setPriceBarColor(Color.RGB(255,0,0));//go short
}
if(bar=="whiteS"){
setPriceBarColor(Color.RGB(0,255,0));//go long
}
