I know this should be simple but I just can’t work out how to convert a number in a constants class (0x000000) to a colour that I can use inside a FONT tag (#000000)

I would just use CN.COLOUR\_BLACK.toString() and remove the first 2 characters, but the string is being returned as 0, not 000000.

Any suggestions?
