    {
        public static Color GetColorFromHex(string hexString)
        {
            Color x =(Color)XamlBindingHelper.ConvertValue(typeof(Color), hexString);
            return x;
        }
    }

and use it something like

var acolor=(new SolidColorBrush(ColorUtils.GetColorFromHex("#F24C27")):

or with alpha
