How can I explicitly declare the color and opacity for painting price and indicators?  ie:  rather than choosing color names I would like to use numerical definitions

cheers

If you are using a RealCode Paint Scheme, the fromARGB method allows you to define the degree of transparency using an alpha channel and also contain RGB bytes for color information.

PlotColor = Color.fromARGB(255, 255, 255, 255)

The first number is the Alpha (and affects transparency) - 0 is transparent, 255 is solid.
The second number is Red - 0 means no red, 255 means max red.
The third number is Green - 0 means no green, 255 means max green.
The fourth number is Blue - 0 means no blue, 255 means max blue.

Each of the numbers is a byte and must be between 0 and 255 (inclusive).
