[FEATURE] Get SKColor from color name

[ashahabov]

Description

As a SkiaSharp user, I want to be able to get SKColor instance from the input string which is a color name.

It can be, for example, a new .FromName() method:

var inputClrName = "blue";
var color = SKColor.FromName(inputClrName);

Is this function part of Skia? If not then it shouldn't be added. You can use any string to Color? function (there is one in System.Drawing.Color) and then convert to SKColor.

System.Drawing.Color causes major problems in linux due to its utilization of libdgiplus and its not available for every linux distro. so may be an alternative is var color = SKColor.FromName(inputClrName); if available

Hi guys, any news on it?

[nchabelengmc]

here is a sample:

private static SKColor GetColor(string colorName) { var skColor = typeof(SKColors).GetField(colorName); if (skColor != null) { return (SKColor)skColor.GetValue(null)!; } return SKColors.Black; }
