Apply to Static Class Variable to Xaml Attribute

How do you refer/use a static class variable as a XAML attribute value?

For example; AppConstants.cs

public class AppConstants {
    public static readonly Color TextColor = Color.FromHex("aaaaaa");
}

HomePage.xaml (the below code is invalid)

....
<Button TextColor="AppConstants.TextColor"/>
....

What is the correct syntax to 'reference' AppConstants.TextColor inside the attribute TextColor?

Try the x:Static Markup Extension

Generic code:

<object property="{x:Static prefix:typeName.staticMemberName}" .../>

Specific example:

<Button TextColor="{x:Static AppConstants.TextColor}"/>
