Handy utility functions for creating solid colour textures for GUI use.

Styles.cs

// Usage:

		m_SideBarTexture = CreateTexture (CreateColor ("#30433C"));

// The goodness:

		static Color CreateColor (string hexCode, float alpha = 1.0f)
		{
			if (hexCode.Length == 7 && hexCode[0] == '#')
			{
				hexCode = hexCode.Substring (1, 6);
			}
			else if (hexCode.Length != 6)
			{
				throw new System.ArgumentException ("Malformed hex code");
			}

			return new Color (
				((float)int.Parse (hexCode.Substring (0, 2), NumberStyles.HexNumber)) / 255.0f,
				((float)int.Parse (hexCode.Substring (2, 2), NumberStyles.HexNumber)) / 255.0f,
				((float)int.Parse (hexCode.Substring (4, 2), NumberStyles.HexNumber)) / 255.0f,
				alpha
			);
		}


		static Texture2D CreateTexture (Color c)
		{
			Texture2D texture = new Texture2D (2, 2);
			texture.SetPixels (new Color[] {c, c, c, c});
			texture.Apply ();

			return texture;
		}
