❔ ✅ 'ConsoleColor' does not contain a definition for 'DrawingColor'

I am experimenting a sample code to create a colourful UI on console, and am getting this error:
'ConsoleColor' does not contain a definition for 'DrawingColor' and no accessible extension method 'DrawingColor' accepting a first argument of type 'ConsoleColor' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)
`

My current code is here https://pastebin.com/tHvqkYLu

Could anyone kindly help me with some clues or hints? I have tried System.Drawing.Color or just the name of the color like Cyan, none of these worked.

color.Value.DrawingColor().Name

color is of type ConsoleColor

Well, ConsoleColor?

You're pulling out it's value with .Value (without even checking if that value exists in the first place, by the by)

So you get ConsoleColor

It's an enum
Angius

It doesn't have methods

No such thing as ConsoleColor.DrawingColor() exists

Thanks a lot - I think I had a bad code example, this code isn't mine (although it came from the ASP.NET 2.0 era whilst I use NET 6.0 ) So there is a lot of discrepancies, I had to change a lot of source codes from this book a lot. Like I try to find a way with a blindfold. I am pretty sure there is a good example on the web, see if I find out the correct course like Udemy
