How can I set custom colors values in a Xaml Value field?
You can set the "background" property on a XAML control element to be a hex value directly.
<Button Background="#292929">
And you can add the alpha at the start if you wish as well.
<Button Background="#55292929">

Sorry, I was wrong here. The way to use this is with floating point values ranging from 0 to 1.
<Trigger Property="ItemsControl.AlternationIndex" Value="2">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="sc#1.0,0.7,1.0,0.5"></Setter>
</Trigger>
To use ARGB values we must use this, a little less straight forward
<Trigger Property="ItemsControl.AlternationIndex" Value="2">
<Setter Property="Background">
<Setter.Value>
<SolidColorBrush>
<SolidColorBrush.Color>
<Color A="255" R="250" G="200" B="150"/>
</SolidColorBrush.Color>
</SolidColorBrush>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Trigger>
Update
You could also use a custom MarkupExtension
<Trigger Property="ItemsControl.AlternationIndex" Value="2">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="{markup:BrushFromArgb 255, 250, 200, 150}"/>
</Trigger>
BrushFromArgbExtension
public class BrushFromArgbExtension : MarkupExtension
{
public BrushFromArgbExtension() { }
public BrushFromArgbExtension(byte a, byte r, byte g, byte b)
{
A = a;
R = r;
G = g;
B = b;
}
public byte A { get; set; }
public byte R { get; set; }
public byte G { get; set; }
public byte B { get; set; }
public override object ProvideValue(IServiceProvider serviceProvider)
{
return new SolidColorBrush(Color.FromArgb(A, R, G, B));
}
}
And a similar MarkupExtension
could also be used for Color
<SolidColorBrush Color="{markup:FromArgb 255, 255, 200, 150}"/>
FromArgbExtension
public class FromArgbExtension : MarkupExtension
{
public FromArgbExtension() { }
public FromArgbExtension(byte a, byte r, byte g, byte b)
{
A = a;
R = r;
G = g;
B = b;
}
public byte A { get; set; }
public byte R { get; set; }
public byte G { get; set; }
public byte B { get; set; }
public override object ProvideValue(IServiceProvider serviceProvider)
{
return Color.FromArgb(A, R, G, B);
}
}
Use HTML-style colors.
<Trigger Property="ItemsControl.AlternationIndex" Value="2">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="#FF0000"></Setter>
</Trigger>
Or, if you want alpha transparency:
<Trigger Property="ItemsControl.AlternationIndex" Value="2">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="#80FF0000"></Setter>
</Trigger>
Or using your example color of 250,200,150:
<Trigger Property="ItemsControl.AlternationIndex" Value="2">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="#FAC896"></Setter>
</Trigger>
