How do I dynamically change color in C# to a hex value?

Question

I know how to set a control's BackColor dynamically in C# to a named color with a statement such as Label1.BackColor = Color.LightSteelBlue; ( using System.Drawing; ) But how do I convert a hex value into a System.Color , ie Label1.BackColor = "#B5C7DE

Accepted Answer

I would use the color translator as so:

```
var color = ColorTranslator.FromHtml("#FF1133");
```

Hope this helps.
