Depending on which version of .NET you're using, you should be able to achieve this by combining call of

ColorTranslator.FromHtml

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.drawing.colortranslator.fromhtml.aspx

and

ColorTranslator.ToKnownColor

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.drawing.color.toknowncolor.aspx
