How to convert from HTML color to delphi color

Here is a sample of code how to convert from HTML color representation to Delphi colors:

function HtmlToColor(Color: string): TColor;
begin
 Result := StringToColor('$' + Copy(Color, 6, 2) + Copy(Color, 4, 2) + Copy(Color, 2, 2));
end;

I write a small example program:

unit Unit1;

interface

uses
 Windows, Messages, SysUtils, Variants, Classes, Graphics, Controls, Forms,
 Dialogs, StdCtrls, ExtCtrls;

type
 TForm1 = class(TForm)
   Edit1: TEdit;
   Button1: TButton;
   Shape1: TShape;
   procedure Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
 private
   { Private declarations }
 public
   { Public declarations }
 end;

var
 Form1: TForm1;

implementation

{$R *.dfm}
function HtmlToColor(Color: string): TColor;
begin
 Result := StringToColor('$' + Copy(Color, 6, 2) + Copy(Color, 4, 2) + Copy(Color, 2, 2));
end;


procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
begin
Shape1.Brush.Color:=HtmlToColor(Edit1.Text);
Shape1.Invalidate;
end;

end.
