Convert string to Color

You will get the following error when trying to assigning a string as a Color in .NET.
Cannot implicitly convert type 'string' to 'System.Drawing.Color'

Import System.Drawing and use Color.FromName to convert a string to a color. 
using System.Drawing;
Color.FromName("Blue");
