Why can't I make void stuff(Color line = Color.cyan)

Well, the title prety much says it all.

I want this but it doesn't work

Code (CSharp):

1. void stuff(Color line = Color.cyan)

This works but its not what I want

Code (CSharp):

1. void stuff(Color line)

I want to create a function that receives a color as parameter, but not as a mandatory one, so I'm giving it a default value. But can't do that because 'line' must be a compile-time constant, whatever that means.
Options?

 

You could try creating a private variable specifically to store Color.cyan, and apply the variable as the default value for the function parameter. No promises though, just a thought experiment.

 

this is where function overloading comes in.

Write one function with the parameter, write another with the parameter. When the functions are used the compiler which match which function should be used based on it's "shape" (i.e. the types of the parameters).

 

Ended up doing the overload as LeftyRighty sugested. Still don't know why that happens though.
