  Cause:
  The error message indicates that there is a problem with the RGB (Red, Green, Blue) values being used to define a color. The placeholders & in the message suggest that the RGB values are either missing or invalid. This can happen due to:

  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check RGB Values: Ensure that the RGB values you are trying to use are valid integers within the range of 0 to 255. For example, a valid color could be represented as R=255, G=0, B=0 for red.
  
  
  Specify All Components: Make sure that all three components (R, G, B) are specified and not left blank.
  
  
  Correct Data Types: Ensure that the values are being passed in the correct data type. They should be integers, not strings or other types.
