Java Colors
Just a simple question, I was wondering why Java includes both Color.black and Color.BLACK
There's 0 difference between the two, why is one all caps and the other is not
Color (Java 2 Platform SE v1.4.2) - Quoted from hereblack
public static final Color black
The color black. In the default sRGB space.

Since I am not the author of that class I have no idea.

The BLACK variable was introduced in version 1.4, while the black variable was in the original class. Standard naming conventions have final (constant) variable names in all uppercase. That would be why they were introduced in a later version. But they could not remove the lowercase variables for backward compatibility reasons.
