Apache POI: Indexed Color from AWT Color input

I am trying to replicate font and color from a given java.awt.Color and java.awt.Font in my Excel file created using apache POI. The latter works, however setting the color does not: while my fonts in Excel are colored green when directly set so by using IndexedColors.GREEN.getIndex(), using the java.awt.Color to create a XSSFColor does not work (see code below). How do i get the (closest) IndexedColor or even better use the original value of java.awt.Color in my POI font?

Current code snippet:

            Font font = workbook.createFont();

            //font.setColor(IndexedColors.GREEN.getIndex());  //Works

            font.setColor(new XSSFColor(java.awt.Color.GREEN).getIndex()); //Does not work



            font.setFontName(getFont(i,j).getFamily());

            font.setFontHeightInPoints((short)getFont(i,j).getSize());

            font.setItalic(getFont(i,j).isItalic());

            font.setBold(getFont(i,j).isBold());

Have you tried font.setColor(new XSSFColor(java.awt.Color.GREEN)) ?

Just checked to be sure, Font.setFont expects a short value (-> error if i try it this way).

XSSFWorkbook#createFont returns XSSFFont (an implementation of Font) and this XSSFFont class has a setColor(XSSFColor) method.

Thank you! For some reason my javadoc shows "All Known Implementing Classes: HSSFFont" for org.apache.poi.ss.usermodel.Font. But XSSFFont also implements it and it works like you said. If you want to put this as answer i will certainly accept.
