Answer 1

You can use the following:

bt_Save.BackColor = System.Drawing.ColorTranslator.FromHtml("#C9C9C9");

Answer 2

Refer http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.drawing.colortranslator.fromhtml(v=vs.110).aspx

Use

  bt_Save.BackColor= System.Drawing.ColorTranslator.FromHtml("#C9C9C9");

Translates an HTML color representation to a GDI+ Color structure

OR

you can also use

bt_Save.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.FromArgb(0xC9C9C9);

Answer 3

You could use the following:

System.Drawing.Color myColor = System.Drawing.Color.FromArgb(0xC9C9C9);
bt_Save.BackColor = myColor;
bt_Submit.BackColor = myColor;
