Answer 1

Define your color resources, then add them to an array for access.

    #FF007F
    #FF0000
    #FF7F00
    #FFFF00
    #7FFF00
    #00FF00
    #00FF7F
    #00FFFF
    #007FFF
    #0000FF
    #7F00FF
    #FF00FF

    
        @color/bright_pink
        @color/red
        @color/orange
        @color/yellow
        @color/chartreuse
        @color/green
        @color/spring_green
        @color/cyan
        @color/azure
        @color/blue
        @color/violet
        @color/magenta
    

Then access them like this:

int[] rainbow = context.getResources().getIntArray(R.array.rainbow);

for (int i = 0; i < tileColumns; i++) {
    paint.setColor(rainbow[i]);
    // Do something with the paint.
}
