How would I integrate JColorChooser into each player? I know how to do it for JButtons, but I simply cannot figure out how to do it for JLabels.

JOptionPane#showXXX methods accept an Object message argument. You can always pass a JColorChooser instance as the message and check for the color chosen by the user

This question is more suitable for the GUI forums.

That literally does not make any sense to me.

Ok. I've almost got it. Here's the code so far:


It works, but now I want to apply the color to the JLabels of each. I tried the above code, but it didn't work.
I can't compile it because of setForeground. The error is "The method setForeground(Color) is undefined for the type String."

Any ideas on how to fix this?

True.
But
1) Using a JOptionPane for the color chooser would offer the user the same experience as the number of players and name prompt
2) JOptionPane would allow the OP to display custom messages. Something like what color for the player?
3) I had JOptionPane so much in mind that I actually forgot about the JCholorChooser#showDialog()
