SwiftHEXColors
A Swift extension for UIColor and NSColor that simplifies HEX color string and integer handling.
What is SwiftHEXColors?
SwiftHEXColors is a Swift library that adds extension methods to UIColor and NSColor for easy creation of colors from HEX values. It solves the problem of manually parsing HEX color strings or converting integer HEX values by providing clean, type-safe initializers that handle various formats including shorthand codes and alpha transparency.
iOS and macOS developers working with Swift who need to frequently use HEX color values in their UI code, particularly those building custom UI components or design systems.
Developers choose SwiftHEXColors for its simplicity and reliability—it eliminates common parsing errors, reduces boilerplate code, and provides a consistent API across iOS and macOS platforms with no external dependencies.
