copied!<h2>Enhanced version (includes all colour formats);</h2> <p>I needed one of these that also works with the 3 digit "Shorthand hexadecimal form" and the MS alpha channel versions (for <strong>Silverlight/WPF</strong>), so came up with this version to cover all <em>numeric</em> colour formats:</p> <pre><code>/// <summary> /// Convert a Hex color string to a Color object /// </summary> /// <param name="htmlColor">Color string in #rgb, #argb, #rrggbb or #aarrggbb format</param> /// <returns>A color object</returns> public static Color ColorFromString(string htmlColor) { htmlColor = htmlColor.Replace("#", ""); byte a = 0xff, r = 0, g = 0, b = 0; switch (htmlColor.Length) { case 3: r = byte.Parse(htmlColor.Substring(0, 1), System.Globalization.NumberStyles.HexNumber); g = byte.Parse(htmlColor.Substring(1, 1), System.Globalization.NumberStyles.HexNumber); b = byte.Parse(htmlColor.Substring(2, 1), System.Globalization.NumberStyles.HexNumber); break; case 4: a = byte.Parse(htmlColor.Substring(0, 1), System.Globalization.NumberStyles.HexNumber); r = byte.Parse(htmlColor.Substring(1, 1), System.Globalization.NumberStyles.HexNumber); g = byte.Parse(htmlColor.Substring(2, 1), System.Globalization.NumberStyles.HexNumber); b = byte.Parse(htmlColor.Substring(3, 1), System.Globalization.NumberStyles.HexNumber); break; case 6: r = byte.Parse(htmlColor.Substring(0, 2), System.Globalization.NumberStyles.HexNumber); g = byte.Parse(htmlColor.Substring(2, 2), System.Globalization.NumberStyles.HexNumber); b = byte.Parse(htmlColor.Substring(4, 2), System.Globalization.NumberStyles.HexNumber); break; case 8: a = byte.Parse(htmlColor.Substring(0, 2), System.Globalization.NumberStyles.HexNumber); r = byte.Parse(htmlColor.Substring(2, 2), System.Globalization.NumberStyles.HexNumber); g = byte.Parse(htmlColor.Substring(4, 2), System.Globalization.NumberStyles.HexNumber); b = byte.Parse(htmlColor.Substring(6, 2), System.Globalization.NumberStyles.HexNumber); break; } return Color.FromArgb(a, r, g, b); } </code></pre> <p>For a brush you use it like this:</p> <pre><code>return new SolidColorBrush(ColorFromString(colorString)); </code></pre> <p><em>Using byte.Parse is more efficient than Convert and requires no casting.</em></p> <p>Update: Fixed sub-string offsets for case 8. </p>
