Change disabled color of Swing link label

I'm using Java Swing linkLabel. When the link is disabled the default color is gray but I want it to be black. Is there a way to change the color of disabled link label?

It's not supported by all Look & Feel implementations, but you could try changing the UI default before instantiating any GUI elements:

UIManager.put("Label.disabledForeground", Color.black);

yes, it is un the UIDefaults just print out all keys, pick that one what need to be modified and change the value. AFTER that launch the GUI

That will change all Label color in your application, not only 1 instance.

You may try this using HTML tags e-g

welcomeLabel.setText(this.htmlIfy("<p style='color:#000000;'>Welcome</p>"));

where the htmlIfy function is 

private static final String HTML = "<html>";
    private static final String HTML_END = "</html>";
public static String htmlIfy(String s) {
        return HTML.concat(s).concat(HTML_END);
    }

for JLabel you have to change opacity, because JLabel is transparent by default

JLabel.setOpaque(true);
JLabel.repaint(); 
// not required in most cases, but missed for MouseEvents in the API
