Return lighter color from SKColor using HSL lightness factor

Question

I have an iOS SKColor, that I want to convert to a lighter shade (that is opaque with no opacity/no transparency), therefore I would like to implement a function using the H

Answer 1

As the official SKColor doc says, on iOS, a SKColor is just a UIColor. Hence:

UIColor *uicolor = (UIColor *)skcolor;
CGFloat h, s, b, a; // lightness is called 'brightness' 
[uicolor getHue:&h saturation:&s brightness:&b alpha:&a];

// (play with your brightness value here)

SKColor *skcolor2 = (SKColor *)[UIColor colorWithHue:h saturation:s brightness:b alpha:a];
