</ContentPage>

C#

Returns TextColor based on the ContactType.

public class ColorConverter : IValueConverter
{
    public object Convert(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, CultureInfo culture)
    {
        if (value == null)
            return false;
        var itemdata = value as Contacts;
        if (itemdata.ContactType == "HOME")
            return Color.RoyalBlue;
        else if (itemdata.ContactType == "WORK")
            return Color.PaleGreen;
        else if (itemdata.ContactType == "MOBILE")
            return Color.HotPink;
        else if (itemdata.ContactType == "OTHER")
            return Color.DarkGoldenrod;
        else
            return Color.BlueViolet;
    }

    public object ConvertBack(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, CultureInfo culture)
    {
        throw new NotImplementedException();
    }
}
