Hi all
I am trying to create a color picker based on the "safe" internet colors (roughly 216). I'd like to try and match these hex values to the System.Drawing.KnownColor enumerations e.g. #FFFFFF easily maps to White. I know there will be a couple that won't match up (KnownColor has about 168 enums I think) - but that's not a problem, I'd just like to match those I can.
There doesn't seem to be any clear map between these - the Color.FromHtml() doesn't return anything near the result I want - and even trying to create a System.Drawing.Color from the RGB values (using int.Parse to get from hex to int) doesn't work.
Does anyone have any ideas as to how I'd go about this?
Thanks as always
