You can use String.Substring() to split it into groups of 6

//C#, Untested code
private string[] ParseColors(string input)
{
int len = input.Length;

int numColors = 0;
if( len%6 == 0)
numColors = (int)(len/6);
else
numColors = (int)(len/6) + 1;

string[] parsed = new string[numColors];

int i = 0;
while(i < numColors)
{
//This line will fail is input string length is not a multiple of 6
parsed[i] = input.Substring(i*6,6);
++i;
}

return parsed;
}
