UIView background color in Swift

Question

Is there a way to set the UIView background color with Swift?

I know that in Objective-C, you would use self.view.backgroundColor = [UIColor redColor];,

You can use this extension as an alternative if you're dealing with RGB value.

extension UIColor {
    static func rgb(red: CGFloat, green: CGFloat, blue: CGFloat) -> UIColor {
        return UIColor(red: red/255, green: green/255, blue: blue/255, alpha: 1)
      }
    }
