how to set font color code in spannable String?

I want to set the color code in a spannable string. 

 SpannableString str= new SpannableString("Your new message ");
        str.setSpan(new ForegroundColorSpan("#00ff00", 0, 5, Spannable.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE);

I have tried the above code but it is not working.

Your call to ForegroundColorSpan() misses the closing bracket and its argument should be an integer, not a string. A hex integer literal starts with '0x' in Java. So this snippet will make your code work:

new ForegroundColorSpan(0xff00ff00)

Parsing the string also works, of course, but it is not necessary.

str.setSpan(new ForegroundColorSpan(getResources().getColor(R.color.geen_color)), 0, 5, Spannable.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE);

Here color is an integer you should use : 

Color.parseColor("#ff00ff00")

I hope @Tristan's answer is correct. But if still there is a problem then try - 

Spannable str= new SpannableString("Your new message ");
str.setSpan(new ForegroundColorSpan(Color.BLUE, 0, 5, Spannable.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE);
