Comparing dyed leather armor

I have a group of skeletons wearing red dyed leather caps, and another wearing blue caps. How can I check what color of cap their wearing?

What I have:

Code:java

 
ItemStack redhelm = colorLeatherArmor(Material.LEATHER_HELMET, Color.RED);
ItemStack bluehelm =colorLeatherArmor(Material.LEATHER_HELMET, Color.BLUE);
 
        if (e.getEquipment().getHelmet() == redhelm ){
                event.setCancelled(true);
        }
        if (e.getEquipment().getHelmet() == bluehelm ){
            event.setCancelled(true);
    }  
 
 
}
 

And the colorLeatherArmor class:

Code:java

 
public ItemStack colorLeatherArmor(Material material, Color color) {
ItemStack item = new ItemStack(material);
LeatherArmorMeta meta = (LeatherArmorMeta) item.getItemMeta();
meta.setColor(color);
item.setItemMeta(meta);
 
return item;
 
}
 

 

Code:java

ItemStack helmet = entity.getEquipment().getHelmet();
 
if(helmet.getItemMeta() instanceof LeatherArmorMeta){
  LeatherArmorMeta meta = (LeatherArmorMeta) helmet.getItemMeta();
 
  if(meta.getColor() == something){
    //Do something
  }
}

The problem I'm having is comparing the colors. What would I replace with "something" here?

Code:java

 
 
if(meta.getColor() == something){
//Do something
}
 

 

Code:java

 
 
if(meta.getColor() == Color.BLUE){
//Do something
}
 

Or

Code:java

 
 
if(meta.getColor() == Color.RED){
//Do something
}
 

 

It doesn't work. I'm getting this error:

I have added the players to the arrayList blue and red

Can someone please help me on this. I've been stuck for the last week

Anyone?

EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.

 

Isn't it wise to check if it actually has an itemmeta first? for NPE prevention. chasechocolate

 

Can anyone help? I'm still getting a NullPointerException

 

Are you importing org.bukkit.Color not java.awt.Color? Just making sure.

 

Yes, I'm using org.bukkit.Color

 

Polunom

Code:java

 
Color.fromRGB(255, 0, 0) 
 

Red

Code:java

 
Color.fromRGB(0, 255, 0)
 
 
 

Blue

Doesn't work. Anyone know why I'm getting an NPE?

 

I know its been a year and this wont help the original asker of this question, but it might help future users. You need to check if the item has item meta first and if the entity even has a helmet (this is the way I would do it, but not the only way): if(!(event.getEntity().getEquipment().getHelmet() != null || event.getEntity().getEquipment().getHelmet().hasItemMeta())) This is a one line check that I use all the time, it will stop that NPE

Code:java

if(!(event.getEntity().getEquipment().getHelmet() != null || event.getEntity().getEquipment().getHelmet().hasItemMeta())){return;}
ItemStack helmet = entity.getEquipment().getHelmet();
 
if(helmet.getItemMeta() instanceof LeatherArmorMeta){
LeatherArmorMeta meta = (LeatherArmorMeta) helmet.getItemMeta();
 
if(meta.getColor() == Color.RED){
//Do something
}
}
