How do I get a value of Windows.Media.Colors using a string?

I want to take a string like "Green" and get the Color type property of Colors that is named "Green", but I just can't figure how.

InvokeMember requires an object instance to invoke the named member on, but all the Color properties of Colors are static, and not available on an instance of Colors.

Is it what you need?

var color = (Color)ColorConverter.ConvertFromString("Green");

it gets color by name using ColorConverter from Windows.Media. It is equivalent to:

var color = Color.Green;
