expecting xamarin Box-view color dynamically change

Question

I have bind the box clour with the value ( in the view model) and in xaml as below in xaml

<BoxView  Grid.Row="2" Color="{Binding ParentContext.BoColor,Source={x:Reference dashboardThree}}" />

and in modelview as below

   public string BoColor { get; set; } = "#000080";

so the above code shows the blue color every time the app runs , The problem is that i have 10 boxes creted dynamically in the list view and all 10 boxes shows the above color ( since that i have only 1 list-view to show my jason objects and it dynamically creates 10,15 etc boxes ) , so is their any way that i can add different 10 colors ( random or defined hexa colours) for the each different boxes ?? thank you in advance for your support.

It really depends upon if you need those colors to be repeatable for each of those BoxViews.

Here is an example of just randomly assigning a color.

Random random = new Random();
public string BoColor
{
    get
    {
        return String.Format("#{0:X6}", random.Next(0x1000000));
    }
}

Example:

<StackLayout>
    <Label Text="StackOverflow" BackgroundColor="{Binding BoColor}"/>
    <Label Text="StackOverflow" BackgroundColor="{Binding BoColor}"/>
    <Label Text="StackOverflow" BackgroundColor="{Binding BoColor}"/>
    <Label Text="StackOverflow" BackgroundColor="{Binding BoColor}"/>
    <Label Text="StackOverflow" BackgroundColor="{Binding BoColor}"/>
</StackLayout>
