AppManifestHelper crash if you use non hex color in appmanifest #110

You can't compile if you use white instead of #FFFFFF in your package.appmanifest.

it should although handle color strings.

There is no WinRT API to convert from a named string value to Windows.UI.Color unfortunately. This makes this challenge difficult :-)

How about this: var colorProp = System.Reflection.RuntimeReflectionExtensions.GetRuntimeProperty(typeof(Windows.UI.Colors), "AliceBlue"); if (colorProp != null) { var color = (Windows.UI.Color)colorProp.GetValue(null); }
