How to store Colors in string?

Question

I want to store Color in string if they are Human Readable format and ToArgb() if they are not.

Color is Red then store it in "Red" string and If color is say some variant of green then it is store as "ff40ff80".

At runtime I want to convert this strings back to Color class Object?

Answer 1

Color color = Color.Red;
string colorName = color.Name; // this gives you the ability to switch back to Color through Color.FromName()
Color sameColor = Color.FromName(colorName);
