here is the code the exception is refering to 

    protected void paintTitleBackground(Graphics g) {
    if ( g instanceof Graphics2D) {
        Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D) g;
        Paint savePaint = g2.getPaint();
        boolean isSelected = frame.isSelected();
        int w = getWidth();

       // selectedTitleColor =  Color.WHITE;
       // selectedTitleGradientColor = Color.ORANGE;
        if (isSelected) {
            GradientPaint titleGradient =
                    new GradientPaint(0, 0, selectedTitleColor,
                                              (int) (w * .75), 0, selectedTitleGradientColor);

The exact line that causes the exception is this : GradientPaint titleGradient = GradientPaint(0, 0, selectedTitleColor,

notice that the variable selectedTitleColor is already had been set a a value somewhere else in the class :: public void installDefaults() { selectedTitleColor = UIManager.getColor("InternalFrame.activeTitleBackground");

Compilers do not lie. Try running your code in debug mode and set a break point such that you can view the value of selectedTitleColor and selectedTitleGradientColor. I guarantee that at least one of those will be null.
