How can I change a SwiftUI Color to UIColor?

Question

I\'m trying to change a SwiftUI Color to an instance of UIColor.

I can easily get the RGBA from the UIColor, but I don\'t know how to get the "Color" instan

Answer 1

iOS 14 / macOS 10.16

There is a new initializer that takes a Color and returns a UIColor for iOS or NSColor for macOS now. So:

iOS

UIColor(Color.red)

---

macOS

NSColor(Color.red)

---

Core Graphics

UIColor(Color.red).cgColor /* For iOS */
NSColor(Color.red).cgColor /* For macOS */
