Color Structure to file

Question

I am trying to get information in a color structure to a file then retrieve it for a reconstruction of the page it is on. The file will not write the Color.Color to a file. (invalid format) I can write to the file with color.Color.toString However I have not figured out how to convert the retrieved string back to a color. The compiler says it cannot convert a string to color. the COLOR part of color.COLOR will not take a variable holding the color. Search of available documentation has not turned up an answer. Any Ideas
