A Swift and SwiftUI library providing powerful methods to manipulate colors with hex strings, gradients, and transformations.
DynamicColor is a Swift library that provides powerful extensions to manipulate colors easily across Apple platforms including iOS, macOS, tvOS, and watchOS. It solves the problem of cumbersome color operations by offering intuitive methods for creating colors from hex values, adjusting colors (lightening, darkening, saturating), creating gradients, and converting between color spaces.
Swift developers building applications for Apple platforms who need to programmatically manipulate colors, create dynamic color schemes, or work with gradients in their UI.
Developers choose DynamicColor because it provides a comprehensive, platform-independent API for color manipulation that works seamlessly with both UIKit/AppKit and SwiftUI, eliminating the need to write repetitive color transformation code.
Yet another extension to manipulate colors easily in Swift and SwiftUI

Provides a consistent DynamicColor typealias that works seamlessly across UIKit, AppKit, and SwiftUI, as shown in the hex initialization examples, reducing platform-specific code duplication.
Offers intuitive methods for lightening, darkening, saturating, adjusting hue, and more, with visual examples in the README for common operations like darken() and saturate().
Includes DynamicGradient with support for RGB, HSL, and CIE L*a*b* color spaces, enabling sophisticated palette generation as demonstrated in the gradient section with multiple color space examples.
Supports SwiftUI's Color type with hex initialization and basic manipulations, easing integration into modern Apple app development, though noted as 'basic methods' in the README.
Exclusively designed for iOS, macOS, tvOS, and watchOS, making it unsuitable for cross-platform projects using frameworks like Flutter or React Native, as admitted in the platform requirements.
The README describes SwiftUI compatibility as 'basic methods,' which may not fully leverage native SwiftUI features or cover advanced declarative color handling compared to newer libraries.
Requires integration via CocoaPods, Carthage, or SPM, adding setup complexity and potential maintenance issues compared to lightweight, copy-pasted color utilities for simple projects.
