Installation

Drag the included UIColor+Colours.h and UIColor+Colours.m files into your project. They are located in the top-level directory. You can see a demo of how to use these with the included Xcode project as well.

Import UIColor+Colours.h into your ViewController.h file, and that's it.

Using Colours

It's very simple. Whenever you set a property that is a UIColor, like self.view.backgroundColor, use one of the new colors as you would the system colors. So, instead of: self.view.backgroundColor = [UIColor redColor] do something like this: self.view.backgroundColor = [UIColor tomatoColor]

Colours Methods

You can grab a UIColor from a hexString by calling colorFromHex:

UIColor *newColor = [UIColor colorFromHexString:@"#f587e4"];

You can also grab a Hex string by calling hexString:

NSString *hexString = [color hexString];
// Output: #8ddaf7

If you'd like the RGBA values of any UIColor, just call the rgbaArrayFromColor method. It returns an array of 4 NSNumbers, RGBA - in that order. Here's how you'd call this:

NSArray *colorArray = [self.view.backgroundColor rgbaArray];
float r = [colorArray[0] floatValue];
float g = [colorArray[1] floatValue];
float b = [colorArray[2] floatValue];
float a = [colorArray[3] floatValue];

Generating Color Schemes

You can create a 5-color scheme based off of a UIColor using the following method. It takes in a UIColor and one of the ColorSchemeTypes defined in Colours. It returns an NSArray of 4 new UIColor objects to create a pretty nice color scheme that complements the root color you passed in.

NSArray *colorScheme = [color colorSchemeOfType:ColorSchemeType];

ColorSchemeTypes

  • ColorSchemeAnalagous
  • ColorSchemeMonochromatic
  • ColorSchemeTriad
  • ColorSchemeComplementary
