How to get RGB values from UIColor?

Question

I\'m creating a color object using the following code.

curView.backgroundColor = [[UIColor alloc] initWithHue:229 saturation:40 brightness:75 alpha:1];


        

Answer 1

Just made a category for this.

NSLog(@"%f", [UIColor blueColor].blue); // 1.000000

Goes something like:

typedef enum { R, G, B, A } UIColorComponentIndices;

@implementation UIColor (EPPZKit)

-(CGFloat)red
{ return CGColorGetComponents(self.CGColor)[R]; }

-(CGFloat)green
{ return CGColorGetComponents(self.CGColor)[G]; }

-(CGFloat)blue
{ return CGColorGetComponents(self.CGColor)[B]; }

-(CGFloat)alpha
{ return CGColorGetComponents(self.CGColor)[A]; }

@end

Part of eppz!kit with more UIColor goodies.

Answer 2

 UIColor *color = [[UIColor greenColor] retain]; //line 1

//OR(You will have color variable either like line 1 or line 2)

color = curView.backgroundColor;//line 2
CGColorRef colorRef = [color CGColor];

int _countComponents = CGColorGetNumberOfComponents(colorRef);

if (_countComponents == 4) {
    const CGFloat *_components = CGColorGetComponents(colorRef);
    CGFloat red     = _components[0];
    CGFloat green = _components[1];
    CGFloat blue   = _components[2];
    CGFloat alpha = _components[3];

    NSLog(@"%f,%f,%f,%f",red,green,blue,alpha);
}

[color release];

Answer 3

set your UIColor like this

UIColor.FromRGB(128, 179, 255)

this is for Xamarin ios... but for sure there is a method like this in swift.
