Color Hex Usage

Create a color from hex value.

Color(hex: 0xFFFFFF)
UIColor(hex: 0xFFFFFF)
NSColor(hex: 0xFFFFFF)

Or get the hex value from a color.

color.hex
uiColor.hex
nsColor.hex

An extension to String is also provided to get hex values in Int32.

// Below all are valid and returns 0xFFFFFF.
"FFFFFF".toColorHex
"#FFFFFF".toColorHex
"0xFFFFFF".toColorHex

Color Brightness Usage

Get to know a color is bright or dark.

It can be used to determine the color of text on the background. If the background color is bright, use black text color, otherwise use white.

let backgroundColor = UIColor(hex: 0xFFFFFF)
let foregroundColor: UIColor = (backgroundColor.isBrightColor ? .black : .white) 
// `foregroundColor = .black` in this case
