Convert string to Color in C#

Question

I am encountering a problem which is how do I convert input strings like \"RED\" to the actual Color type Color.Red in C#. Is there a good way to do this?

Answer 1

For transferring colors via xml-strings I've found out:

Color x = Color.Red; // for example
String s = x.ToArgb().ToString()
... to/from xml ...
Int32 argb = Convert.ToInt32(s);
Color red = Color.FromArgb(argb);
