If you get annoyed by this and still wish to use strings, you can extend Color and add a string constructor
class FlutterColor extends Color {
static int _getColorFromHex(String flutterColor) {
flutterColor = flutterColor.toUpperCase().replaceAll("#", "");
if (flutterColor.length == 6) {
flutterColor = "FF" + flutterColor;
}
return int.parse(flutterColor, radix: 16);
}
FlutterColor(final String flutterColor) : super(_getColorFromHex(flutterColor));
}
