Winforms Color Editor - Display known system colors for ARGB colors

This example creates a custom color editor and overrides the RepositoryItemColorEdit.GetColorDisplayText method. The example also uses a helper class to convert a color in any format to a known system color.

public class RepositoryItemMyColorEdit : RepositoryItemColorEdit {
    // ...
    protected override string GetColorDisplayText(Color editValue) {
        object color = editValue;
        ColorHelper.TryConvertToKnownColor(ref color);
        return base.GetColorDisplayText((Color)color);
    }
}
