In Flutter the Color class only accepts integers as parameters  or there is the possibility to use the named constructors fromARGB and fromRGBO   So we only need to convert the string  b74093 to an integer value  Also we need to respect that opacity always needs to be specified  255  full  opacity is represented by the hexadecimal value FF  This already leaves us with 0xFF  Now  we just need to append our color string like this   const color   const Color 0xffb74093      Second  const  is optional in assignments    The letters can by choice be capitalized or not   const color   const Color 0xFFB74093       Starting with Dart 2 6 0  you can create an extension for the Color class that lets you use hexadecimal color strings to create a Color object   extension HexColor on Color         String is in the format  aabbcc  or  ffaabbcc  with an optional leading        static Color fromHex String hexString        final buffer   StringBuffer        if  hexString length    6    hexString length    7  buffer write  ff        buffer write hexString replaceFirst                return Color int parse buffer toString    radix  16               Prefixes a hash sign if  leadingHashSign  is set to  true   default is  true      String toHex  bool leadingHashSign   true     gt     leadingHashSign                       alpha toRadixString 16  padLeft 2   0              red toRadixString 16  padLeft 2   0              green toRadixString 16  padLeft 2   0              blue toRadixString 16  padLeft 2   0          The fromHex method could also be declared in a mixin or class because the HexColor name needs to be explicitly specified in order to use it  but the extension is useful for the toHex method  which can be used implicitly  Here is an example   void main       final Color color   HexColor fromHex   aabbcc       print color toHex       print const Color 0xffaabbcc  toHex         Disadvantage of using hex strings  Many of the other answers here show how you can dynamically create a Color from a hex string  like I did above  However  doing this means that the color cannot be a const  Ideally  you would assign your colors the way I explained in the first part of this answer  which is more efficient when instantiating colors a lot  which is usually the case for Flutter widgets

The most easiest way is to convert it into an integer  For example  bce6eb  You would add 0xff and you would then remove the hashtag making it 0xffbce6eb Then lets say you were to implement it by doing backgroundColor  Color 0xffbce6eb  If you can only use a hexadecimal then I suggest using the Hexcolor package https   pub dev packages hexcolor

You can click on Color Widget and it tells you in much deeper information how those letters stand for  You can also use Color fromARGB   method to create custom colors which is much easier to me  Use Flutter Doctor Color Picker website to pick any color you want for your flutter application
