If you don t want to deal with the pain of the conversion every time simply create an extension method   public static class Extensions       public static SolidColorBrush ToBrush this string HexColorString                return  SolidColorBrush  new BrushConverter   ConvertFrom HexColorString                  Then use like this  BackColor     FFADD8E6  ToBrush    Alternately if you could provide a method to do the same thing   public SolidColorBrush BrushFromHex string hexColorString        return  SolidColorBrush  new BrushConverter   ConvertFrom hexColorString       BackColor   BrushFromHex   FFADD8E6
