How to convert Flutter color to string and back to a color

I am converting a Color to a String. I am then converting the Color to a String. Unfortunately when I want to convert it back into a Color the operation fails:

Answer 1

You actually can't do that. Color doesn't have a constructor that accepts a String as a representation of a color.

For that, you could use the Color property value. It is a 32 bit int value that represents your color. You can save it and then use to create your new Color object.

The code could look like this

Color pickerColor = new Color(0xff443a49);
int testingColorValue = pickerColor.value;
String testingColorString = pickerColor.toString();

Color newColor = new Color(testingColorValue);

or like this

Color pickerColor = new Color(0xff443a49);
String testingColorString = pickerColor.toString();

Color newColor = new Color(pickerColor.value);
