Specify base 16, like this:

Color.FromArgb(Convert.ToInt32(a[0], 16),
               Convert.ToInt32(a[1], 16),
               Convert.ToInt32(a[2], 16),
               Convert.ToInt32(a[3], 16));

ff is not a valid number is base 10. Convert.ToInt32 uses base 10 by default. I assume you have correct values in a array.

For example:

string[] a = {"ff", "00", "12", "ff"};

Color color = Color.FromArgb(Convert.ToInt32(a[0], 16),
                             Convert.ToInt32(a[1], 16),
                             Convert.ToInt32(a[2], 16),
                             Convert.ToInt32(a[3], 16));

Console.WriteLine(color); //prints: Color [A=255, R=0, G=18, B=255]

a more simple way is to use an instance of ColorConverter:

string colorHex = "#" + string.Join("", a);
var color = (Color)new ColorConverter().ConvertFromString(colorHex);

I suggest to take a look to the ColorConverter class you can provide directly an argb string to it.

this can be useful: Another question about this

Your values are in hexademical, so before passing them to FromArgb that accepts only integers, you need to convert them to integers.

int colorR = int.Parse(hexValueOfRed, System.Globalization.NumberStyles.HexNumber);
....
