PDFsharp & MigraDoc Foundation

Hi all,

I'm hoping one of you may be able to help me out! I'm using MigraDoc and so far it's been excellent. Any little problems I have come up again, reading through this forum has helped me solve it. Unfortunately so far I haven't found any help on my new problem!

I need to set some background/font colors etc, but the colours need to be exact and the built in ones don't come close enough. So I've got either the hex value (#B8B9BB) or the RGB values (184,185,187) but I can't seem to find a way to use these in MigraDoc. I noticed the function MigraDoc.DocumentObjectModel.Color.FromCmyk allows you to input the values for each colour, but there is not equivalent FromRGB function. I also tried using MigraDoc.DocumentObjectModel.Color.Parse("B8B9BB") but that didn't work

Any help you can give me would be massively appreciated!

Thanks in advance.

Hi!

Try these constructors:
ARGB: Color(UInt32) Initializes a new instance of the Color class.
RGB: Color(Byte, Byte, Byte) Initializes a new instance of the Color class.
ARGB: Color(Byte, Byte, Byte, Byte) Initializes a new instance of the Color class.

Parse expects decimals. Use prefix "0x" for hex.
This should work (untested):
MigraDoc.DocumentObjectModel.Color.Parse("0xB8B9BB")
