this article suggests you can use Color c = Color.decode("FF0096"); however this understandably throws an exception
Caused by: java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input string: "FF0096" at java.lang.NumberFormatException.forInputString(NumberFormatException.java:48) at java.lang.Integer.parseInt(Integer.java:449) at java.lang.Integer.valueOf(Integer.java:528) at java.lang.Integer.decode(Integer.java:958) at java.awt.Color.decode(Color.java:707) What is the best way of converting a String in the format of "#FF0096" or "FF0096" into a java awt Color?

A hexadecimal color is specified with: #RRGGBB, where the RR (red), GG (green) and BB (blue) hexadecimal integers specify the components of the color.
The most common way to specify colors in CSS is to use their hexadecimal (or hex) values. Hex values are actually just a different way to represent RGB values. Instead of using three numbers between 0 and 255, you use six hexadecimal numbers. Hex numbers can be 0-9 and A-F.
Adding an Alpha Value to CSS Hex CodesUsing an alpha value to update a color's transparency will change the hex code format from #RRGGBB to #RRGGBBAA (where alpha is A ). The first six values (the red, green, and blue ones) remain the same.
Hex color codes start with a pound sign or hashtag (#) and are followed by six letters and/or numbers. The first two letters/numbers refer to red, the next two refer to green, and the last two refer to blue. The color values are defined in values between 00 and FF (instead of from 0 to 255 in RGB).
Color c = Color.decode("0xFF0096"); or
Color c = Color.decode("#FF0096"); or
Color c = new Color(0xFF0096); The Color.decode method throws the NumberFormatException if the specified string cannot be interpreted as a decimal, octal, or hexidecimal integer
The string "FF0096" without the prefix of 0 or 0x will be interpreted as a base 10 representation which does not work.
