    Use an escape character. Like this:
    "\"Purple\""

    Thanks for that.
    Then the next question, how do I print a value behind it.
    Like:

    String Chr = Y;
     
    "\"Purple" + Chr"\"

    "\"Purple" + Chr"\" --> doesn't work.
    I would like as output "PurpleY"

    What's Y?
    What chr? Because Chr != chr.

    I will mind the capital letter next time yes.
    Chr and chr are the same, I will adjust that in my post.

    That is a letter I pulled out of an arrayList.

    for (int x = 0; x < arrayList_Chrom.size(); x++) {
    			String Chr = arrayList_Chrom.get(x);
    }

    You have to remember that "\"" is a String, so you do String concatenation exactly like you do with any other String. For example, consider this:

    String chr = "Y";
    "Purple" + chr + "."
    //PurpleY.

    Also consider using a StringBuilder instead of String concatenation.

    I'm not sure exactly what you mean, but yeah, anytime you have a quotation mark inside a String, you need to escape it. Doesn't matter if the String is split up into multiple String primitives or not.

    Unless you're talking about the String.split() function, which takes a regular expression String, so you have to escape the escape sequence...
