Method 1

string hex = "#FFFFFF";
Color _color = System.Drawing.ColorTranslator.FromHtml(hex);

Note: the hash is important!

Method 2

You can do

var color =  System.Drawing.ColorTranslator.FromHtml("#FFFFFF");

Or this (you will need the System.Windows.Media namespace)

var color = (Color)ColorConverter.ConvertFromString("#FFFFFF");

Method 3

Remove the ‘#’ and do

Color c = Color.FromArgb(int.Parse("#FFFFFF".Replace("#",""),
                         System.Globalization.NumberStyles.AllowHexSpecifier));
