Xamarin.Forms.Color to hex value

Question

I have a Xamarin.Forms.Color and I want to convert it to a \'hex value\'.

So far, I haven\'t found a solution to my problem.

My code is as follows:

Answer 1

Just a quick fix, the last line is wrong.

Alpha channel comes before the other values:

string hex = String.Format("#{0:X2}{1:X2}{2:X2}{3:X2}", alpha, red, green, blue);

and this is best for an extension method:

public static class ExtensionMethods
{
    public static string GetHexString(this Xamarin.Forms.Color color)
    {
        var red = (int)(color.R * 255);
        var green = (int)(color.G * 255);
        var blue = (int)(color.B * 255);
        var alpha = (int)(color.A * 255);
        var hex = $"#{alpha:X2}{red:X2}{green:X2}{blue:X2}";

        return hex;
    }
}
