Convert string to KnownColor?

I have a piece of code that is trying to convert a string to a
knownColor via CType. Is this not possible? I keep getting an error
that you cant convert a string to an integer. Is there another way to
do this?

        For Each clr as object In Colors
         If Not Color.FromKnownColor(CType(clr,
KnownColor)).IsSystemColor Then
            alColor.Add(clr.ToString)
         End If
        Next

Thanks so much.
