Itext 7 Setting Font Color

Question

I am migrating from itext 5 to 7.0.5 and am having trouble with colors. When I try the following:

Text title1 = new Text("The Strange Case of ").setFontColor(Color.BLUE);

My IDE tells me that Color.BLUE is deprecated. I cannot find what to use instead. Please help. TIA.

You should use com.itextpdf.kernel.color.ColorConstants as the replacement for com.itextpdf.kernel.color.Color which was marked depreciated in 7.0.5.

As noted in a comment the Color class is simply depreciated in 7.0.5 and both classes act the same way, however in 7.1 the Color class will be removed.
