Combat Level Difference - Hex color code

Hi, nothing too special here, this is just a little snippet that simply adds some flare to messages/interfaces that display combat levels. Written on a 667 base.

This method will return a HEX color code in String format based on the difference between two levels, same as how the level color changes when right clicking an NPC/Player (See media below). This is about as close to the actual formula that I could get; it has a range of 20 levels.

Code:

---

        /**
        * @ param hiddenLevel The level of the entity that is doing the checking (player)
        * @ param displayedLevel The level of the entity that is going to be displayed (player2 / npc)
        * @ param HEX string color code based on the level difference between two levels
        */
        public String getLevelDifferenceColor(int hiddenLevel, int displayedLevel) {
                int levelDifference = displayedLevel - hiddenLevel;
               
                if (levelDifference > 0)
                        return String.format("%02X%02X%02X", 255, levelDifference > 10 ? 0 : 255 - (25 * levelDifference), 0);
                else if (levelDifference < 0)
                        return String.format("%02X%02X%02X", levelDifference < -10 ? 0 : 255 - (25 * Math.abs(levelDifference)), 255, 0);
                else
                        return String.format("%02X%02X%02X", 255, 255, 0);
        }

Spoiler for Example: Using it to change the text component of an interface that displays NPC's and their levels:

Code:

---

        int playerLevel = player.getSkills().getCombatLevel();
        int npcLevel = NPCDefinitions.getNPCDefinitions(npcId).getCombatLevel();

        player.getPackets().sendIComponentText(interfaceId, componentId, "<col=" + getLevelDifferenceColor(playerLevel, npcLevel) + ">" + npcLevel + "</col>");

Spoiler for Media:

Row 1: Player combat level
Row 2: Right clicked NPC
Row 3: NPC displayed on interface using the getLevelDifferenceColor()

Alternatively, here is a utility method for converting RGB to Hex, for setting colors on the go without dealing with Hex (I prefer playing with RGB)

Spoiler for getHexFromRGB():

Code:

---

        /**
        * @ return A HEX color code in String format based on Red, Green, Blue
        */
        public static String getHexFromRGB(int red, int green, int blue) {
                return String.format("%02X%02X%02X", red, green, blue);
        }
