manua has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi All,

I am using PDF::API2 module and for different fonts and lines, I want to use custom colors, created with RGB values.

How can I create custom colors with the RGB Values. Any help in this regard will be highly appreciated.

Thanks, Manu

    You can just use an HTML like RGB hex mask, prefixed by '#': 
    #!/usr/bin/perl
use common::sense;
use PDF::API2;

my $pdf = PDF::API2->new();

my $page = $pdf->page(0);
my $gfx = $page->gfx;

my $red_rgb = '#ff0000';
$gfx->strokecolor($red_rgb);
$gfx->rect(10,100,200,200);
$gfx->stroke;

$pdf->saveas('/tmp/red_box.pdf');

    This'll work pretty well everywhere you can specify a color.
