how to use textcolor on label of Xamarin forms?

The question is very easy and strange… I'm thinking that it may be a bug... Go it. I have Label where I try to set the background color with key of static resource where it has the Hex value of color. It works good. then, I want to use this color on text instead of background so I have changed it from brackgroundcolor property of Xaml to TextColor property. And it is showed with white color instead the custom color. Should I have to do something in order to set the my custom color instead white?

I have attached sample of resource and the xaml line of Label:

    <ResourceDictionary>
        <Color x:Key="Fondo">#38aae1</Color>
    </ResourceDictionary>
    …
    <Label Text="sample" FontSize="15" TextColor="{StaticResource Fondo}" FontAttributes="Bold" />

The app is for Android, and version 3.6.0.220655.

Thank you

Try to delete the folder bin and obj .Then clean and rebuild your project.I don't think there's anything wrong with your code.Because I use the following code and it works fine both on Android and iOS.

<StackLayout>
    <StackLayout.Resources>
        <ResourceDictionary>
            <Color x:Key="Fondo">#38aae1</Color>
        </ResourceDictionary>
    </StackLayout.Resources>

    <Label Text="sample" FontSize="15" TextColor="{StaticResource Fondo}" FontAttributes="Bold" />

</StackLayout>

try this

<ResourceDictionary>
        <Color x:Key="Fondo">#38AAE1</Color>
    </ResourceDictionary>
    …
    <Label Text="sample" FontSize="15" TextColor="{StaticResource Fondo}" FontAttributes="Bold" />

Maybe the Background Color value need to be uppercase or need (")between the text.
