A Swift library that creates complementary gradients from dominant colors in images, inspired by Grade.js.
ComplimentaryGradientView is a Swift library for iOS that automatically generates complementary gradients by analyzing dominant and prominent colors in images. It solves the problem of manually creating color-coordinated backgrounds, making it easy to design dynamic and visually consistent interfaces. The library is inspired by Grade.js and integrates seamlessly with UIKit.
iOS developers building apps that require dynamic, image-based backgrounds, such as media players, photo galleries, or any app where visual harmony between images and UI is important.
Developers choose ComplimentaryGradientView for its simplicity, automation, and flexibility—it reduces manual color picking, supports both code and storyboard integration, and offers customizable gradient types and directions with minimal setup.

Uses UIImageColors to automatically extract dominant and prominent colors from images, eliminating manual color picking and ensuring visual harmony.
Supports various gradient types and start points, as shown in README examples, allowing fine-tuned control over gradient appearance.
Can be configured directly in Interface Builder, streamlining UI design without code for visual developers.
Provides clear migration guides for major versions, like the shift to GradientVariant in 3.0, easing upgrades and maintaining compatibility.
Relies on the UIImageColors library for color extraction, adding maintenance overhead and potential compatibility issues.
Limited to iOS apps using UIKit, making it incompatible with SwiftUI or cross-platform frameworks without additional wrapping.
High-quality settings may slow down processing for large images, as indicated in the README, impacting real-time applications.
Major version updates, such as 3.0, require code migrations, which can disrupt existing implementations as noted in the migration guide.
