How to get foreground color from hex code in C#? [duplicate]

Question

    using System;
    class ColorTheText
    {
        public static void Main(string [] args)
        {
            Console.ForegroundColor = ConsoleColor.Red;
            Console.WriteLine("\t\tCongratulations! You have cleared this level. \n\n\t\t\t    Entering Level 2...");
            Console.ForegroundColor = ConsoleColor.White;
        }
    }

But I want to get the color from hex code i.e. ConsoleColor. color from hex code (#c0c0c0). How to do it?

error CS0117: 'System.ConsoleColor' does not contain a definition for 'silver' or 'Silver' — Arun Pandey

There are only 16 possible colors so you could just hard-code the Color to ConsoleColor mapping with a switch() statement. Do note that the names don't necessarily match the actual color that the user sees. The console window allows remapping the color index to another color. — Hans Passant

System.Drawing.ColorTranslator.FromHtml("#c0c0c0");

Something like that is what you need? Perhaps you serve.

Sorry for my english.

That will return Color instead of ConsoleColor which is required

You have reason, sorry.
