public void showColor(Color color)

    JFrame frame = new JFrame("Guess this color");

    frame.setSize(200,200);

    frame.setLocation(300,300);

    JPanel panel = new JPanel();

    panel.setBackground(color);

    frame.add(panel);

    frame.setVisible(true);

    frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);

}

public void guessColor()

{}}

How can I get the value of the chosenColor inside the method chooseColor() inside the method guessColor().

chosenColor is an instance variable so you can simply access it inside guessColor() i.e.

public void guessColor(){

    System.out.println(chosenColor);

}

As per the code, chosenColor appears to be a class level private variable and hence any method in that class can use it.

Actually you are updating instance variable chosenColor from chooseColor() method . So it is not a variable from another method.
