Hi all! I was just wondering if anybody knew how to set a color up to equal input?
Example:


input = read()
term.setTextColor(color.input)

^That^ doesnt seem to work, so I was wondering if there was another way of doing that instead of the following:


input = read()
if input == "red" then
term.setTextColor(colors.red)
end

Thanks in advance!

local input = read()
if colors[ input ] then
  term.setTextColor( colors[ input ] )
end
