You can use Color.FromArgb() to define a custom color in code:

btnBlue.Background = new SolidColorBrush(Color.FromArgb(255, 48, 179, 221));

Alternatively, you can define the color in XAML in advance as a resource:

<Page.Resources>
    <SolidColorBrush x:Key="BlueColor" Color="#FF30B3DD" />
</Page.Resources>

You can then reference the resource from the code:

btnBlue.Background = (SolidColorBrush)Resources["BlueColor"];
