Answer 1

I made a method from the top answer here:

private Windows.UI.Color GetColorFromHex(string hexString)
{
    hexString = hexString.Replace("#", string.Empty);
    byte r = byte.Parse(hexString.Substring(0, 2), NumberStyles.HexNumber);
    byte g = byte.Parse(hexString.Substring(2, 2), NumberStyles.HexNumber);
    byte b = byte.Parse(hexString.Substring(4, 2), NumberStyles.HexNumber);

    return Windows.UI.Color.FromArgb(byte.Parse("1"), r, g, b);
}
