ColorHelper is a .h header file for any C or C++ project (WiiBrew or otherwise) which allows easy reference to 19 different colours in your project, by Pinecone.
How to Use
Fortunately, it couldn't be simpler:
- 1: Download color.h
- 2: Put color.h in your source directory
- 3: add the following line to the top of any .c/.cc/.cpp/.h file from which you may want to reference colours:
#import "color.h"
- 4: refer to your colour of choice using the following construction:
COLOR_<colorname>
so, if you wanted a dashing Khaki colour to use in your project, you would refer to it as follows:
COLOR_khaki
(note that the colour name is ALWAYS lower case)

Note
This was very easy to make and really anyone with half a brain could have done it. I just found it really useful in my projects to have a colour referencer handy.
Please appreciate the spelling of the word COLOR: I am English so I would rather have it spelt like this: COLOUR. For the sake of convention (and in light of the fact that there are a good deal of Americans here), all colours are spelt using the American COLOR spelling. In all non-coding contexts, however, you will notice I spell it with the English spelling Colour.
N.B: My apologies if the graphics library you are using uses colours encoded differently. I must stress that this was written for my own use, and I will not be taking suggestions or requests, for doing so is sheer laziness. If you are able to use it, you are able to change it.
