Question

I know I can go the long route by…

1. Adding a reference to System.Drawing
2. Creating a System.Drawing.Color from the string
3. Creating the System.Windows.Media.Color from the ARGB values of the System.Drawing.Color.

But this feels like serious overkill.

Is there an easier way?

Answer 1

var color = (Color)ColorConverter.ConvertFromString('Red');
