How to get the RGB Code (INT) from an UIColor in Swift [duplicate]

Answer 1

From Martin R's answer :The method could also return a named tuple (a Swift 2 feature):

extension UIColor {

    func rgb() -> (red:Int, green:Int, blue:Int, alpha:Int)? {
        var fRed : CGFloat = 0
        var fGreen : CGFloat = 0
        var fBlue : CGFloat = 0
        var fAlpha: CGFloat = 0
        if self.getRed(&fRed, green: &fGreen, blue: &fBlue, alpha: &fAlpha) {
            let iRed = Int(fRed * 255.0)
            let iGreen = Int(fGreen * 255.0)
            let iBlue = Int(fBlue * 255.0)
            let iAlpha = Int(fAlpha * 255.0)

            return (red:iRed, green:iGreen, blue:iBlue, alpha:iAlpha)
        } else {
            // Could not extract RGBA components:
            return nil
        }
    }
}
