I am doing a multiplatform project, and I am defining the color pallette in the shared view model.
Is there a simple function to convert the 6-char RGB string (e.g. “CC6699”) into a androidx.compose.ui.graphics.Color object ?

For the moment, I decided to write an extension function:

fun String.toColor() : Color {
    return Color(("FF"+this).toLong(16))
}

You can define colors using Long, like this

val pink = 0xFFE83E62

That way you can skip String to Long conversion
