Store and retrieve font color in registry

I am writing a prigram that needs to store font settings for a textbox. I want to store the font color in the registry and apply that setting when the form is opened. When I try to use the txtbox.forecolor property, the value is stored as a string in the registry. When I try to retrieve and apply the value, it is looking for a system.drawing.color type. Any ideas??

Thanks in advance.
