How to convert color name to the corresponding hexadecimal representation?

Question

For example:

blue 

converts to:

#0000FF

I wrote it as:

Color color = Color.FromName(\"blue\

Answer 1

Ahmed's answer is close, but based on your comment, I'll just add a little more.

The code that should make this work is:

Color color = Color.FromName("blue");
string myHexString = String.Format("#{0:X2}{1:X2}{2:X2}", color.R, color.G, color.B);

Now you can do whatever you want with the string myHexString.
