Access resource from another resource

[califax2k]

Hi, I am trying to do the following:

<UserControl.Resources>
<Color x:Key="ColorPurple" R="0x9F" G="0x15" B="0xC3"/>
<DataTemplate x:Key="PredicatTemplatePurple">
<TextBlock Name="predicatTemplateName">
<TextBlock.Background>
<SolidColorBrush Color="{StaticResource ColorPurple}" />
</TextBlock.Background/>
</TextBlock/>
</DataTemplate/>
<UserControl.Resources/>

Unfortunately the color is not used by the template. Is there a way for achieving this effect? It's important for me to use my oww color definitions. Thanks in advance Lars
