debug.log with color (variable)????????

Question

After looking at this reference page: http://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Debug.Log.html

I have this variable at the top of my code

 private Color[] color_debug_log = new Color[]{    Color.red,
                                                     Color.green,
                                                     Color.blue,
                                                     Color.magenta};

when I debug log like this however

 Debug.Log ("<color=color_debug_log[1]>Player " + 1 + " joined the game");

it gives me default color, instead of green. Is it not possible to use color variable in these cases? the fact that the tag must be inside string is something I can see being a problem when trying to access a variable.

You can use a variable, but naturally it has to be outside the string; otherwise Unity has no idea it's a variable. Also the variable would have to be a string, not a Color, because you're outputting strings where the color is parsed from the string.

Thanks mate! That worked! I stored an array of strings ins$$anonymous$$d of colours, and then i concatenated it in to the colour's position in string. cheers :D

A code sample for easy reference.

 Color color = color_debug_log[1];
 string message = "Player " + 1 + " joined the game";
 
 Debug.Log (string.Format("<color=#{0:X2}{1:X2}{2:X2}>{3}</color>", (byte)(color.r * 255f), (byte)(color.g * 255f), (byte)(color.b * 255f), message));
