JTextField, JColorChooser, JTextPane

Lately, I've been assigned a module of the system our team is currently developing. This part of the system uses Java Swing. One of the tasks I had to do concerns asking the user to choose a color and assigning this to the user's profile. Being a Java Swing Noob, I had to research everything first.

I found out that using JColorChooser is an easy way to let the user pick a color he wants.
All you have to do is to call a static method which opens a dialog and returns the color the user chooses.

Then after this, I wanted to have a JTextField with a background which will change together with the color the user chose. Now, I tried using

textField.setbackground();
and
textField.setForeground();

and found out that only the text color will change and not the background inside the JTextField. So, I did a few more searches and found out that a good alternative for this is a JTextPane.
