How do I use a string variable to set an html control color

I am trying to set the colors of my controls on my webpage to be variables. For example I would store a value of "#000000" in a database and when the page loads it would put that value in the original html tag. So <asp:Button ID="btnTesta" runat="server" Text="Button" ForeColor='<% MYVALUE%>' />.

This should change your button background color or ForeColor color

yourButtonName.BackColor = Color.Red;
yourButtonName.ForeColor = Color.Black;

You need to include System.Drawing namespace as Color class belongs to that. Like this

using System.Drawing;

And ofcourse you need to add the reference to System.Drawing DLL in your project to use this namespace and Color class.

enter image description here

You can assign value from code behind.

btnTesta.ForeColor = System.Drawing.ColorTranslator.FromHtml("yourvaluefromdatabase");
