Not an expert in Xamarin (or C#) but something like this should work to get your color resource:

button_vstrong_fluorescence
    .SetBackgroundColor(new Android.Graphics.Color(
        ContextCompat.GetColor(this, Resource.Color.linear_filter_background))
    );

Just try :

Android.Graphics.Color.ParseColor(Resource.Colors.linear_filter_background.ToString());

Should work.
