Convert HTML color to System.Drawing.Color

It's very simple to convert a HTML color (Hexadecimal color) to System.Drawing.Color.

Just ask the System.Drawing.ColorTranslator class to do so.

Color myColor = System.Drawing.ColorTranslator.FromHtml("#660000");

Remember to include the leading '#' sign.

You may also pass in color names instead of the hexadecimal color.

 

Same, if you want to convert the System.Drawing.Color to hexadecimal string.

string htmlColor = System.Drawing.ColorTranslator.ToHtml(System.Drawing.Color.Navy);
