.SYNOPSIS
Converts a string representation of a color to a Spectre.Console.Color object.

.PARAMETER Color
The color to convert. This parameter is mandatory and accepts input from the pipeline.

.EXAMPLE
# This example converts the string 'red' to a Spectre.Console.Color object.
'red' | Convert-ToSpectreColor

.EXAMPLE
# This example converts the hexadecimal color code '#FF0000' to a Spectre.Console.Color object.
'#FF0000' | Convert-ToSpectreColor
