Hi everyone,  
I have a problem initializing a CColor variable in ControlP5, does anybody know how to do it?

On the library reference I found: _CColor(int cfg, int cbg, int cactive, int ccl, int cvl)_  
**cfg** color foreground  
**cbg** color background  
**cactive** color active  
**ccl** color captionLabel  
**cvl** color valueLabel

**CColor color1 = ???**

I’d like to use:  
.setColor(color1) ;

insted of:  
.setColorForeground(color(0,200,0))  
.setColorBackground(color(0,50,0))  
.setColorActive(color(0,255,0));

Thank you!!
