public final class SystemColor
extends Color
implements Serializable

A class to encapsulate symbolic colors representing the color of GUI objects on a system. For systems which support the dynamic update of the system colors (when the user changes the colors) the actual RGB values of these symbolic colors will also change dynamically. In order to compare the "current" RGB value of a SystemColor object with a non-symbolic Color object, getRGB() should be used rather than equals().
