Solution 38066: TI-84 Plus CE Program does NOT work when using COLOR menu Values for LED COLOR selections or RGB LED selections.

Why does a TI-84 Plus CE program not work when using COLOR menu Values for LED COLOR selections or RGB LED selections?

When developing programs that use the “Send(“SET COLOR” Hub menu selections if you use Values from the COLOR pull down in the Prgm Menu selections the program will not work.

Example:
For(I,1,10)
Send("SET COLOR.RED ON")
Wait .5
Send("SET COLOR.RED OFF")
Wait .5
End

You may choose to change the color attribute which requires a string representation of RED, BLUE, or GREEN.  If you choose to select a COLOR from the COLOR menu pull down in the Prgm menu these values are tokens - not strings. So even proper “assumed” RGB color values caused errors.

Examples of wrong Strings using the COLOR menu Tokens:
Send("SET COLOR.RED ON")
Send("SET COLOR.MAGENTA ON")
