Decent ways of converting a color from a string name to the Color class

//best, using Color's static method
Color red1 = Color.FromName("Red");
// using a ColorConverter
TypeConverter tc1 = TypeDescriptor.GetConverter(typeof(Color)); // ..or..
TypeConverter tc2 = new ColorConverter();
Color red2 = (Color)tc.ConvertFromString("Red");
// using Reflection on Color or Brush
Color red3 = (Color)typeof(Colors).GetProperty("Red").GetValue(null, null);
// in WPF you can use a BrushConverter
SolidColorBrush redBrush = (SolidColorBrush)new BrushConverter().ConvertFromString("Red");
