Is there any way to convert the hex code from string to hex colour which discord.py supports?-CodePudding

I am trying to figure this out for so long, but I am not able to convert the hex code from string to actual hex code like this 0xFFFFFF since discord.py doesn't take hex code in str datatype. Code Snippet:-

@client.command()
async def testing(ctx):
    # color = lgd.hexConvertor(colorCollection.find({},{"_id":0,"Hex":1}))
    c = "0xFFFFFF"
    inte = int(c,16)
    color = hex(inte)
    await ctx.send(embed = discord.Embed(description = "testing",color = color))

Error:-

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/opt/virtualenvs/python3/lib/python3.8/site-packages/discord/ext/commands/core.py", line 85, in wrapped
    ret = await coro(*args, **kwargs)
  File "main.py", line 221, in testing
    await ctx.send(embed = discord.Embed(description = "testing",color = color))
  File "/opt/virtualenvs/python3/lib/python3.8/site-packages/discord/embeds.py", line 115, in __init__
    self.colour = colour
  File "/opt/virtualenvs/python3/lib/python3.8/site-packages/discord/embeds.py", line 230, in colour
    raise TypeError('Expected discord.Colour, int, or Embed.Empty but received %s instead.' % value.__class__.__name__)
TypeError: Expected discord.Colour, int, or Embed.Empty but received str instead.

This is how I stored the hex codes in my mongodb atlas database->

Edit:- It worked on using inte instead of color

>>> color = "0xFFFFFF"
>>> int_color = int(color,16)
>>> hex(int_color)
'0xffffff'
>>> # basically the same thing
>>>
>>> from discord import Color
>>>
>>> Color(int_color)
<Colour value=16777215>
>>>
>>>
>>>
>>> teal = int("0x1abc9c",16)
>>> Color(teal)
<Colour value=1752220>
>>> Color.teal()     #classmethod for teal color
<Colour value=1752220>
>>> #just ints work

discord.py documentation for colours

Look at the error.

TypeError: Expected discord.Colour, int, or Embed.Empty

An int would suffice, no need for extra conversions.

@client.command()
async def testing(ctx):
    # color = lgd.hexConvertor(colorCollection.find({},{"_id":0,"Hex":1}))
    c = "0xFFFFFF"
    int_colour = int(c,16)
    await ctx.send(embed = discord.Embed(description = "testing",color = int_colour))
