conversion

As per the question title, How could I take a hex code and convert it to a .Net Color object, and do it the other way?

I googled and keep getting the same way which doesn't work.

 ColorTranslator.ToHtml(renderedChart.ForeColor)

Which returns the name of the color as in 'White' instead of '#ffffff'! Doing it the other way seems to have odd results, only working some of the time...
