It seems it returns a Brush and since you've set a color it should return a SolidColorBrush. Try this

var color = ((SolidColorBrush)clr1.Background).Color.ToString();

Example:

var color = new Color() {R = 0xF0, G = 0x10, B = 0x80};
var brush = new SolidColorBrush(color);
var hexcolor = brush.Color.ToString();

hexcolor equals "#00F01080"
