A UWP Windows 10 C# helper class designed to help with basic operations of setting and getting colors. By default there is no simple way to set a Color object from a HEX value. This will provide an easy solution. More features will follow as I run into problems.

ColorConverter.cs

public static class ColorConverter
    {
        public static Color GetColorFromHex(string hex)
        {
            hex = hex.Replace("#", string.Empty);
            byte a = (byte)(Convert.ToUInt32(hex.Substring(0, 2), 16));
            byte r = (byte)(Convert.ToUInt32(hex.Substring(2, 2), 16));
            byte g = (byte)(Convert.ToUInt32(hex.Substring(4, 2), 16));
            byte b = (byte)(Convert.ToUInt32(hex.Substring(6, 2), 16));
            Color c = Color.FromArgb(a, r, g, b);
            return c;
        }
    }
