    When importing a project I got the error:

    'UnityEngine.Color' does not contain a definition for 'TryParseHexString'

    Nevermind, I just looked through the release notes for a few other versions and found that it was added in 5.1.1 whereas this build is 5.1.0 :)

    Hmm, seems like it vanished again in 5.2.0
    strange, can someone confirm this?

    edit:

    should have read the release notes:

    • Scripting: Removed hexadecimal color string support from Color and replaced with ColorUtility

    and I can confirmed that it was missing from UnityEngine and script reference,

    No it's not!

    As I mentioned, they moved it to

    UnityEngine.ColorUtility.TryParseHtmlString

    Unfortunately I think ColorUtility.TryParseHtmlString depends on # being at start for a hex color, yet ColorUtility.ToHtmlStringRGB does not place the hash at the start so this is an issue (which was not there with 5.1)

    They really changed it? That's not really consistent. But should be easily fixed like that:
    Code (CSharp):
    1. return string.Format("#{0}",ColorUtility.ToHtmlStringRGB(color));
    or
    Code (CSharp):
    1.  ColorUtility.TryParseHtmlString(value.TrimStart('#'),out color);
