How to specify text color

[pcs800]

I have a project which uses a certain shade of gold for text labels, which is #FFB7AA5B
I created panels to display db meter scales, but cannot figure out how to specify a color other than just Colours.gold

//Panel 1
const var dBScalePanel1 = Content.addPanel("dBScale1", 20, 160);
dBScalePanel1.set("width", 30);
dBScalePanel1.set("height", panelHeight);

dBScalePanel1.setPaintRoutine(function(g)
{
    g.setColour(Colours.gold);
    g.setFont("Roboto", 10);
    var usableHeight = panelHeight - paddingTop - paddingBottom;

    for (i = 0; i < scaleValues.length; i++)
    {
        var y = (scaleValues[i] / -60.0) * usableHeight + paddingTop;
        g.drawAlignedText(scaleValues[i] + " dB", [0, y - 6, 40, 12], "left");
    }
});

The docs on Colours are pretty comprehensive:

HISE | Scripting | Colours

Generate and modify colours.

"#FFB7AA5B" is a hex representation of a colour with the #AARRGGBB format. You're almost there, you just need to turn that into an actual number with the hex format:

const var RED = 0xFFFF0000;
const var GREEN = 0xFF00FF00; // same as #FF00FF00
const var TRANSPARENT = 0; // shortcut for 0x00000000
