Can anyone please state how to set colors of the report using java
code(jsp)?

Have at look at the generated html to see if the colour numbers are
what you asked for. If they are, the problem is with the browser
using only a subset of the colours, perhaps the websafe colours.

If that turns out to be the case, check your OS to make sure you have
configured a full palette of colours for your display driver and in
your browser.

If it turns out NOT to be the case, look for some sort of Crystal
Reports option to use only "websafe" colours in the web version of the
report, and turn it off.

One odd sort of solution is to stick to websafe colours in your
report. See http://mindprod.com/jgloss/netscapewebsafe.html

That is a Crystal Reports problem, not a Java problem. Is there a
Crystal Reports newsgroup or forum where you might have better odds of
getting an answer?
