    Default Need help with changing color of JOptionPane

    Hello,

    I need to change the color of output box to white. I guess the best would be to use UIManager.put("OptionPane.messageForeground", Color.white);? how do i use this? Sorry, I am very new to java

     
    import java.awt.Color;
     
    import  javax.swing.*;
     
    public class square{
     
     
     
    	public void perimeter(){
     
     
    		double sq;
     
    	String shape2 = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Enter shape you want to calculate the circumference for - Enter 1-square, 2-rectangle, 3-circle, 4-triangle, and 5-Exit.  ");
    	int shape =  Integer.parseInt(shape2);
     
     
    	 if (shape ==1){
     
     
    	String square2 = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Enter numeric value in centimeters ");
     
    	double square =  Double.parseDouble(square2);
     
    	 sq= 4 * square;
     
    			     JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,
    			     "You selected Square \n Length of each side= " + square + " cm \n Area=" + sq +"cm");
     
    			    }
     
     
    		if (shape ==5){
     
    			System.exit(0);
    		}}}
