For loop iteration won't function correctly Closed

Question

Hello, 
I am trying to make this pie chart program work in NetBeans 7.2.1, but it won't compile for a reason I cannot grasp....
This is the block of code that is creating issues:

for (int i = 0; i < values.size(); i++) {
                g2d.setColor(colors.get(i));
 
and this is the errors I am getting from it:

method setColor in class Graphics cannot be applied to given types;
  required: Color
  found: Object
  reason: actual argument Object cannot be converted to Color by method invocation conversion

Can someone please tell me what is happening here, because this program runs perfectly from the desktop, in the command prompt, but I need it to be in Net5Beans so that I can use it for another program I am working on??
PLEASE HELP ME!!

Configuration: Windows 7 / Firefox 18.0

Just from few lines one reason could be that "colors.get(i)" is object that you may have to explicitly cast as Color
g2d.setColor((Color)colors.get(i));

@rizvisa1,
I figured that as well, but what was confusing me was that this EXACT code ran fine when I compiled and ran it from the command prompt, but had issues when I sposed the code into NetBeans, and that was freaking me out a bit??

g2d.setColor((Color)colors.get(i));

Try this.....
This is called downcasting
