Specifying Color using .FromArgb and .FromName

SSS · Postby **SSS** » 24 Apr 2013

Other than specifying a color by name (e.g. Color.Blue, Color.Yellow) etc, how do I define a colour using the methods Color.FromName or Color.FromArgb?

I've been experimenting and none of the following seem to work:

Code: Select all


myObject.Color = Color.FromArgb(-1);

myObject.Color = Color.FromArgb(-16711681);

myObject.Color = Color.FromArgb(-256);



myObject.Color = Color.FromName("ff008000");

myObject.Color = Color.FromName("ffffff00");

All the above seem to produce a black color with the values (A=255, R=0, G=0, B=0). What am I doing wrong?
