Flutter convert Color to hex string

Question

How can I convert a flutter Color class instance into a hex string?

For example, I would like to convert Colors.blue to what would be '#4286f4'.

Usecase is letting the user choose a color and save it in the database as a hex color.

I have checked related questions and they are for converting the other way around.

You can convert the value property (includes alpha) or the individual red, green, and blue properties to Hex using int.toRadixString(16):

 var myColor = Colors.blue;  var hex = '#${myColor.value.toRadixString(16)}';
