Maybe something like:

GdkColor  c;
gchar *s;

gdk_color_parse ("DarkRed", &c);
s = g_strdup_printf ("%02x%02x%02x", 
                                c.red >> 8, 
                                c.green >> 8, 
                                c.blue >> 8);

or

gdk_color_parse ("DarkRed", &c);
s = g_strdup_printf ("%04x%04x%04x", c.red, c.green, c.blue);
