    Why from strings and not from colors.xml, which is intended for this ? Commented Nov 16, 2012 at 6:43

    I don't think that's possible, you can use @color/whiteColor. Commented Nov 16, 2012 at 6:43

I think you can do it, try this

<string name="grey">@color/col</string>
<color name="col">#ffffff</color>

Now you can use the string grey instead of col to add the color OR

 <string name="grey">#ffffff</string>
    <color name="col">@string/grey</color>
