Demo:

    private integer I = 0
endglobals

function TestColors takes nothing returns nothing
    call BJDebugMsg(FixedColor(I,"COLOR OF = "+I2S(I)))
    set I = I+1
    if I >= 51 then
        call DestroyTrigger(GetTriggeringTrigger())
    endif
endfunction

function init takes nothing returns nothing
    local trigger t = CreateTrigger()
    call TriggerRegisterTimerEvent(t, 1, true)
    call TriggerAddAction(t, function TestColors)
endfunction

endscope

Why is the code inside a spoiler?
What's better about having a list of colors i constantly need to check to know which is the color index for my desired color over just looking for the RGB code somewhere else?
You should make a list of globals.

private function init takes nothing returns nothing
    call ColorSetup()
endfunction

Why not just merge both functions?
ColorUtils is not an appropriate name

 

[Troll-Brain]

It's a good practice to have the configuration part in the top of the library, ColorSetUp doesn't need to be merged with the initializer.
And really that doesn't matter anyway, it's just an initializer.

I'm agree on other points.

Also, instead of functions i think it's worth it to make the string array Color not private, and add constants integers :

constant integer RED = 0
constant integer BLUE = 1 ...

This.

As a first attempt to make a Jass section resource, I'd like to tell you: Not bad

Those 12 colors most of us stick to are pretty damn lame
Can you make it so that there are 256 colors? ^-^

This should generate them:

library ColorGen

    globals
        private string array colors
        private string array ints
        private integer number = -1
    endglobals
    
    function display takes nothing returns nothing
        call DisplayTimedTextToPlayer(GetLocalPlayer(), 0, 0, 60, colors[number])
        set number = number - 1
        if colors[number] == "" then
            call PauseTimer(GetExpiredTimer())
        endif
    endfunction
    
    private struct Inits extends array
        private static method onInit takes nothing returns nothing
            local integer index1 = 0
            local integer index2 = 0
            local integer index3 = 0
            local trigger t = CreateTrigger()
            
            set ints[0] = "00"
            set ints[1] = "33"
            set ints[2] = "66"
            set ints[3] = "99"
            set ints[4] = "cc"
            set ints[5] = "ff"
            
            loop
                loop
                    loop
                        set number = number + 1
                        set colors[number] = ints[index3] + ints[index2] + ints[index1]
                        exitwhen index1 == 5
                        set index1 = index1 + 1
                    endloop
                    exitwhen index2 == 5
                    set index2 = index2 + 1
                    set index1 = 0
                endloop
                exitwhen index3 == 5
                set index3 = index3 + 1
                set index2 = 0
                set index1 = 0
            endloop
            
            call TimerStart(CreateTimer(), 0.5, true, function display)
        endmethod
    endstruct
    
endlibrary

It generates all the colors; You can copy them and put them into globals

Well, this isn't so much to allow colors, but rather intended to make color coding easier for those who don't know hex codes. However, it may end up being more trouble looking through a list opposed to just googling a hex converter to get the colors you need.

What you should do instead is include only the 12 player colors, black, white, and gold and lumber colors. (you can find the rgb codes in miscdata.txt)

 

[Nestharus]

It's much easier to just google hex colors -> http://www.december.com/html/spec/color.html

 

[mckill2009]

Who needs 256 colors anyway?......, I dont even need 20, the thing is, I post
it for people who dont know hex codes and color blind...

You know for sure that this can support systems such as Messages, Multiaboards, Quests, text tags, very easy to implement...

And like Purge said...

...but rather intended to make color coding easier...

Why is the code inside a spoiler?

My taste XD...

What's better about having a list of colors i constantly need to check to know which is the color index for my desired color over just looking for the RGB code somewhere else?

None, see Purge's comment & my comment above this...

 

[Bribe]

I would prefer this in a tutorial, perhaps something that shows a list of which colors look the best for certain circumstances. I also think that instead of referencing a list like this it would be better for you to reference someone to a hex color code generator.

Scheduled for graveyarding.
