¿Cómo puedo crear un UIColor a partir de una cadena hexadecimal?

¿Cómo puedo crear una UIColordesde un hexadecimal formato de cadena, tales como #00FF00?

He encontrado que la forma más sencilla de hacerlo es con una macro. Solo inclúyalo en su encabezado y estará disponible en todo su proyecto.

#define UIColorFromRGB(rgbValue) [UIColor colorWithRed:((float)((rgbValue & 0xFF0000) >> 16))/255.0 green:((float)((rgbValue & 0xFF00) >> 8))/255.0 blue:((float)(rgbValue & 0xFF))/255.0 alpha:1.0]

macro uicolor con valores hexadecimales

También versión formateada de este código:

#define UIColorFromRGB(rgbValue) \
[UIColor colorWithRed:((float)((rgbValue & 0xFF0000) >> 16))/255.0 \
                green:((float)((rgbValue & 0x00FF00) >>  8))/255.0 \
                 blue:((float)((rgbValue & 0x0000FF) >>  0))/255.0 \
                alpha:1.0]

Uso:

label.textColor = UIColorFromRGB(0xBC1128);

Una solución concisa:

// Assumes input like "#00FF00" (#RRGGBB).
+ (UIColor *)colorFromHexString:(NSString *)hexString {
    unsigned rgbValue = 0;
    NSScanner *scanner = [NSScanner scannerWithString:hexString];
    [scanner setScanLocation:1]; // bypass '#' character
    [scanner scanHexInt:&rgbValue];
    return [UIColor colorWithRed:((rgbValue & 0xFF0000) >> 16)/255.0 green:((rgbValue & 0xFF00) >> 8)/255.0 blue:(rgbValue & 0xFF)/255.0 alpha:1.0];
}

Tengo una solución que es 100% compatible con las cadenas de formato hexadecimal utilizadas por Android, lo que me pareció muy útil al realizar el desarrollo móvil multiplataforma. Me permite usar una paleta de colores para ambas plataformas. Siéntase libre de reutilizar sin atribución, o bajo la licencia de Apache si lo prefiere.

Hay una buena publicación sobre cómo abordar la cuestión del OP de extraer una UIColorcadena hexadecimal. La solución presentada a continuación es diferente de otras porque admite valores de cadena que pueden incluir '0x' o '#' con el prefijo de la representación de cadena hexadecimal ... (ver uso)

Aquí está el bit principal ...

- (UIColor *)getUIColorObjectFromHexString:(NSString *)hexStr alpha:(CGFloat)alpha
{
  // Convert hex string to an integer
  unsigned int hexint = [self intFromHexString:hexStr];

  // Create a color object, specifying alpha as well
  UIColor *color =
    [UIColor colorWithRed:((CGFloat) ((hexint & 0xFF0000) >> 16))/255
    green:((CGFloat) ((hexint & 0xFF00) >> 8))/255
    blue:((CGFloat) (hexint & 0xFF))/255
    alpha:alpha];

  return color;
}

Método auxiliar ...

- (unsigned int)intFromHexString:(NSString *)hexStr
{
  unsigned int hexInt = 0;

  // Create scanner
  NSScanner *scanner = [NSScanner scannerWithString:hexStr];

  // Tell scanner to skip the # character
  [scanner setCharactersToBeSkipped:[NSCharacterSet characterSetWithCharactersInString:@"#"]];

  // Scan hex value
  [scanner scanHexInt:&hexInt];

  return hexInt;
}

Uso:

NSString *hexStr1 = @"123ABC";
NSString *hexStr2 = @"#123ABC";
NSString *hexStr3 = @"0x123ABC";

UIColor *color1 = [self getUIColorObjectFromHexString:hexStr1 alpha:.9];
NSLog(@"UIColor: %@", color1);

UIColor *color2 = [self getUIColorObjectFromHexString:hexStr2 alpha:.9];
NSLog(@"UIColor: %@", color2);

UIColor *color3 = [self getUIColorObjectFromHexString:hexStr3 alpha:.9];
NSLog(@"UIColor: %@", color3);

Swift 2+

He portado esta solución a Swift 2.2. Tenga en cuenta que he cambiado el alphaparámetro para usar un conjunto predeterminado a 1.0. También actualicé el tipo int UInt32según lo requerido por la NSScannerclase en Swift 2.2.

func colorWithHexString(hexString: String, alpha:CGFloat = 1.0) -> UIColor {

    // Convert hex string to an integer
    let hexint = Int(self.intFromHexString(hexString))
    let red = CGFloat((hexint & 0xff0000) >> 16) / 255.0
    let green = CGFloat((hexint & 0xff00) >> 8) / 255.0
    let blue = CGFloat((hexint & 0xff) >> 0) / 255.0 

    // Create color object, specifying alpha as well
    let color = UIColor(red: red, green: green, blue: blue, alpha: alpha)
    return color
}

func intFromHexString(hexStr: String) -> UInt32 {
    var hexInt: UInt32 = 0
    // Create scanner
    let scanner: NSScanner = NSScanner(string: hexStr)
    // Tell scanner to skip the # character
    scanner.charactersToBeSkipped = NSCharacterSet(charactersInString: "#")
    // Scan hex value
    scanner.scanHexInt(&hexInt)
    return hexInt
}

Swift 4+

Usando la misma lógica con los cambios aplicados para swift 4,

func colorWithHexString(hexString: String, alpha:CGFloat = 1.0) -> UIColor {

    // Convert hex string to an integer
    let hexint = Int(self.intFromHexString(hexStr: hexString))
    let red = CGFloat((hexint & 0xff0000) >> 16) / 255.0
    let green = CGFloat((hexint & 0xff00) >> 8) / 255.0
    let blue = CGFloat((hexint & 0xff) >> 0) / 255.0

    // Create color object, specifying alpha as well
    let color = UIColor(red: red, green: green, blue: blue, alpha: alpha)
    return color
}

func intFromHexString(hexStr: String) -> UInt32 {
    var hexInt: UInt32 = 0
    // Create scanner
    let scanner: Scanner = Scanner(string: hexStr)
    // Tell scanner to skip the # character
    scanner.charactersToBeSkipped = CharacterSet(charactersIn: "#")
    // Scan hex value
    scanner.scanHexInt32(&hexInt)
    return hexInt
}

Esta es una función que toma una cadena hexadecimal y devuelve un UIColor.
(Puede ingresar cadenas hexadecimales con cualquier formato: #ffffffo ffffff)

Uso:

var color1 = hexStringToUIColor("#d3d3d3")

        return UIColor.gray
    }

    var rgbValue:UInt32 = 0
    Scanner(string: cString).scanHexInt32(&rgbValue)

    return UIColor(

        blue: CGFloat(rgbValue & 0x0000FF) / 255.0,
        alpha: CGFloat(1.0)
    )
}

Swift 2:

func hexStringToUIColor (hex:String) -> UIColor {
    var cString:String = hex.stringByTrimmingCharactersInSet(NSCharacterSet.whitespaceAndNewlineCharacterSet() as NSCharacterSet).uppercaseString

    if (cString.hasPrefix("#")) {

Una gran implementación de Swift (actualizada para Xcode 7) usando extensiones, reunidas de una variedad de diferentes respuestas y lugares. También necesitará las extensiones de cadena al final.

Utilizar:

let hexColor = UIColor(hex: "#00FF00")

NOTA: Agregué una opción para 2 dígitos adicionales al final del valor hexadecimal estándar de 6 dígitos para un canal alfa (pase el valor de 00- 99). Si esto te ofende, simplemente quítalo. Puede implementarlo para pasar un parámetro alfa opcional.

Extensión:

extension UIColor {

    convenience init(var hex: String) {
        var alpha: Float = 100
        let hexLength = hex.characters.count
        if !(hexLength == 7 || hexLength == 9) {
            // A hex must be either 7 or 9 characters (#RRGGBBAA)
            print("improper call to 'colorFromHex', hex length must be 7 or 9 chars (#GGRRBBAA)")
            self.init(white: 0, alpha: 1)
            return
        }

        if hexLength == 9 {
            // Note: this uses String subscripts as given below
            alpha = hex[7...8].floatValue
            hex = hex[0...6]
        }

        // Establishing the rgb color
        var rgb: UInt32 = 0
        let s: NSScanner = NSScanner(string: hex)
        // Setting the scan location to ignore the leading `#`
        s.scanLocation = 1
        // Scanning the int into the rgb colors
        s.scanHexInt(&rgb)

        // Creating the UIColor from hex int
        self.init(
            red: CGFloat((rgb & 0xFF0000) >> 16) / 255.0,
            green: CGFloat((rgb & 0x00FF00) >> 8) / 255.0,
            blue: CGFloat(rgb & 0x0000FF) / 255.0,
            alpha: CGFloat(alpha / 100)
        )
    }
}

extension String {

    /**
    Returns the float value of a string

    var floatValue: Float {
        return (self as NSString).floatValue
    }

    /**
    Subscript to allow for quick String substrings ["Hello"][0...1] = "He"
    */
    subscript (r: Range<Int>) -> String {
        get {
            let start = self.startIndex.advancedBy(r.startIndex)
            let end = self.startIndex.advancedBy(r.endIndex - 1)
            return self.substringWithRange(start..<end)
        }
    }
}

Puedes hacer una extensión como esta

extension UIColor{
    convenience init(rgb: UInt, alphaVal: CGFloat) {
        self.init(
            red: CGFloat((rgb & 0xFF0000) >> 16) / 255.0,
            green: CGFloat((rgb & 0x00FF00) >> 8) / 255.0,
            blue: CGFloat(rgb & 0x0000FF) / 255.0,
            alpha: alphaVal
        )
    }
}

Y úsalo en cualquier lugar como este

UIColor(rgb: 0xffffff, alphaVal: 0.2)

No hay conversión integrada de una cadena hexadecimal a una UIColor(o CGColor) que yo sepa. Sin embargo, puede escribir fácilmente un par de funciones para este propósito; por ejemplo, vea el desarrollo de iPhone para acceder a los componentes uicolor

Encontré una buena UIColorcategoría para esto, UIColor + PXExtensions .

Uso: UIColor *mycolor = [UIColor pxColorWithHexValue:@"#BADA55"];

Y, en caso de que falle el enlace a mi esencia, aquí está el código de implementación real:

//
//  UIColor+PXExtensions.m
//

#import "UIColor+UIColor_PXExtensions.h"

@implementation UIColor (UIColor_PXExtensions)

+ (UIColor*)pxColorWithHexValue:(NSString*)hexValue
{
    //Default
    UIColor *defaultResult = [UIColor blackColor];

    //Strip prefixed # hash
    if ([hexValue hasPrefix:@"#"] && [hexValue length] > 1) {
        hexValue = [hexValue substringFromIndex:1];
    }

    //Determine if 3 or 6 digits
    NSUInteger componentLength = 0;
    if ([hexValue length] == 3)
    {
        componentLength = 1;
    }
    else if ([hexValue length] == 6)
    {
        componentLength = 2;
    }
    else
    {
        return defaultResult;
    }

    BOOL isValid = YES;
    CGFloat components[3];

    //Seperate the R,G,B values
    for (NSUInteger i = 0; i < 3; i++) {
        NSString *component = [hexValue substringWithRange:NSMakeRange(componentLength * i, componentLength)];
        if (componentLength == 1) {
            component = [component stringByAppendingString:component];
        }
        NSScanner *scanner = [NSScanner scannerWithString:component];
        unsigned int value;
        isValid &= [scanner scanHexInt:&value];
        components[i] = (CGFloat)value / 256.0f;
    }

    if (!isValid) {
        return defaultResult;
    }

    return [UIColor colorWithRed:components[0]
                           green:components[1]
                            blue:components[2]
                           alpha:1.0];
}

@end

versión rápida Usar como una función o una extensión.

  func UIColorFromRGB(colorCode: String, alpha: Float = 1.0) -> UIColor{
    var scanner = NSScanner(string:colorCode)
    var color:UInt32 = 0;
    scanner.scanHexInt(&color)

    let mask = 0x000000FF
    let r = CGFloat(Float(Int(color >> 16) & mask)/255.0)
    let g = CGFloat(Float(Int(color >> 8) & mask)/255.0)
    let b = CGFloat(Float(Int(color) & mask)/255.0)

    return UIColor(red: r, green: g, blue: b, alpha: CGFloat(alpha))
}

extension UIColor {
    convenience init(colorCode: String, alpha: Float = 1.0){
        var scanner = NSScanner(string:colorCode)
        var color:UInt32 = 0;
        scanner.scanHexInt(&color)

        let mask = 0x000000FF
        let r = CGFloat(Float(Int(color >> 16) & mask)/255.0)
        let g = CGFloat(Float(Int(color >> 8) & mask)/255.0)
        let b = CGFloat(Float(Int(color) & mask)/255.0)

        self.init(red: r, green: g, blue: b, alpha: CGFloat(alpha))
    }
}

let hexColorFromFunction = UIColorFromRGB("F4C124", alpha: 1.0)
let hexColorFromExtension = UIColor(colorCode: "F4C124", alpha: 1.0)

Esta es otra alternativa.

- (UIColor *)colorWithRGBHex:(UInt32)hex
{
    int r = (hex >> 16) & 0xFF;
    int g = (hex >> 8) & 0xFF;
    int b = (hex) & 0xFF;

    return [UIColor colorWithRed:r / 255.0f
                           green:g / 255.0f
                            blue:b / 255.0f
                           alpha:1.0f];
}

Puede usar varias herramientas en línea para convertir una cadena HEX a un UIColor real. Visite uicolor.org o UI Color Picker . La salida se convertiría en código Objective-C, como:

[UIColor colorWithRed:0.93 green:0.80 blue:0.80 alpha:1.0];

Lo que podría incrustar en su aplicación. ¡Espero que esto ayude!

SWIFT 4

Puede crear un buen convenienceconstructor en la extensión como este:

extension UIColor {
    convenience init(hexString: String, alpha: CGFloat = 1.0) {
        var hexInt: UInt32 = 0
        let scanner = Scanner(string: hexString)
        scanner.charactersToBeSkipped = CharacterSet(charactersIn: "#")
        scanner.scanHexInt32(&hexInt)

        let red = CGFloat((hexInt & 0xff0000) >> 16) / 255.0
        let green = CGFloat((hexInt & 0xff00) >> 8) / 255.0
        let blue = CGFloat((hexInt & 0xff) >> 0) / 255.0
        let alpha = alpha

        self.init(red: red, green: green, blue: blue, alpha: alpha)
    }
}

Y úsalo más tarde como

let color = UIColor(hexString: "#AABBCCDD")

extension UIColor {
    convenience init(hexaString: String, alpha: CGFloat = 1) {
        let chars = Array(hexaString.dropFirst())
        self.init(red:   .init(strtoul(String(chars[0...1]),nil,16))/255,
                  green: .init(strtoul(String(chars[2...3]),nil,16))/255,
                  blue:  .init(strtoul(String(chars[4...5]),nil,16))/255,
                  alpha: alpha)}
}

Uso:

let redColor       = UIColor(hexaString: "#FF0000")              // r 1,0 g 0,0 b 0,0 a 1,0
let transparentRed = UIColor(hexaString: "#FF0000", alpha: 0.5)  // r 1,0 g 0,0 b 0,0 a 0,5

Esto es bueno con el soporte de cocoapod

https://github.com/mRs-/HexColors

// with hash
NSColor *colorWithHex = [NSColor colorWithHexString:@"#ff8942" alpha:1];

// wihtout hash
NSColor *secondColorWithHex = [NSColor colorWithHexString:@"ff8942" alpha:1];

// short handling
NSColor *shortColorWithHex = [NSColor colorWithHexString:@"fff" alpha:1]

Otra versión con alfa

#define UIColorFromRGBA(rgbValue) [UIColor colorWithRed:((float)((rgbValue & 0xFF000000) >> 24))/255.0 green:((float)((rgbValue & 0xFF0000) >> 16))/255.0 blue:((float)((rgbValue & 0xFF00) >> 8 ))/255.0 alpha:((float)((rgbValue & 0xFF))/255.0)]

Equivalente rápido de la respuesta de @ Tom, aunque recibe el valor RGBA Int para respaldar la transparencia:

func colorWithHex(aHex: UInt) -> UIColor
{
    return UIColor(red: CGFloat((aHex & 0xFF000000) >> 24) / 255,
        green: CGFloat((aHex & 0x00FF0000) >> 16) / 255,
        blue: CGFloat((aHex & 0x0000FF00) >> 8) / 255,
        alpha: CGFloat((aHex & 0x000000FF) >> 0) / 255)
}

//usage
var color = colorWithHex(0x7F00FFFF)

Y si quieres poder usarlo desde una cadena, puedes usar strtoul:

var hexString = "0x7F00FFFF"

let num = strtoul(hexString, nil, 16)

var colorFromString = colorWithHex(num)

Aquí hay una Swift 1.2versión escrita como una extensión de UIColor. Esto te permite hacer

let redColor = UIColor(hex: "#FF0000")

Lo que siento es la forma más natural de hacerlo.

extension UIColor {
  // Initialiser for strings of format '#_RED_GREEN_BLUE_'
  convenience init(hex: String) {
    let redRange    = Range<String.Index>(start: hex.startIndex.advancedBy(1), end: hex.startIndex.advancedBy(3))
    let greenRange  = Range<String.Index>(start: hex.startIndex.advancedBy(3), end: hex.startIndex.advancedBy(5))
    let blueRange   = Range<String.Index>(start: hex.startIndex.advancedBy(5), end: hex.startIndex.advancedBy(7))

    var red     : UInt32 = 0
    var green   : UInt32 = 0
    var blue    : UInt32 = 0

    NSScanner(string: hex.substringWithRange(redRange)).scanHexInt(&red)
    NSScanner(string: hex.substringWithRange(greenRange)).scanHexInt(&green)
    NSScanner(string: hex.substringWithRange(blueRange)).scanHexInt(&blue)

    self.init(
      red: CGFloat(red) / 255,
      green: CGFloat(green) / 255,
      blue: CGFloat(blue) / 255,
      alpha: 1
    )
  }
}

Otra implementación que permite cadenas como "FFF"o "FFFFFF"y que usa alfa:

+ (UIColor *) colorFromHexString:(NSString *)hexString alpha: (CGFloat)alpha{
    NSString *cleanString = [hexString stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:@"#" withString:@""];
    if([cleanString length] == 3) {
        cleanString = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@%@%@%@%@%@",
                       [cleanString substringWithRange:NSMakeRange(0, 1)],[cleanString substringWithRange:NSMakeRange(0, 1)],
                       [cleanString substringWithRange:NSMakeRange(1, 1)],[cleanString substringWithRange:NSMakeRange(1, 1)],
                       [cleanString substringWithRange:NSMakeRange(2, 1)],[cleanString substringWithRange:NSMakeRange(2, 1)]];
    }
    if([cleanString length] == 6) {
        cleanString = [cleanString stringByAppendingString:@"ff"];
    }

    unsigned int baseValue;
    [[NSScanner scannerWithString:cleanString] scanHexInt:&baseValue];

    float red = ((baseValue >> 24) & 0xFF)/255.0f;
    float green = ((baseValue >> 16) & 0xFF)/255.0f;
    float blue = ((baseValue >> 8) & 0xFF)/255.0f;

    return [UIColor colorWithRed:red green:green blue:blue alpha:alpha];
}

actualizado para swift 1.2

class func colorWithHexString (hex:String) -> UIColor {
    var cString: NSString = hex.stringByTrimmingCharactersInSet(NSCharacterSet.whitespaceAndNewlineCharacterSet()).uppercaseString

    if (cString.hasPrefix("#")) {
        cString = cString.substringFromIndex(1)
    }

    if (count(cString as String) != 6) {
        return UIColor.grayColor()
    }

    var rString: String = cString.substringToIndex(2)
    var gString: String = (cString.substringFromIndex(2) as NSString).substringToIndex(2)
    var bString: String = (cString.substringFromIndex(4) as NSString).substringToIndex(2)

    var r:CUnsignedInt = 0, g:CUnsignedInt = 0, b:CUnsignedInt = 0;
    NSScanner(string: rString).scanHexInt(&r)
    NSScanner(string: gString).scanHexInt(&g)
    NSScanner(string: bString).scanHexInt(&b)
    return UIColor(red: CGFloat(Float(r) / 255.0), green: CGFloat(Float(g) / 255.0), blue: CGFloat(Float(b) / 255.0), alpha: CGFloat(1))

}

Crea una extensión elegante para UIColor:

extension UIColor {

convenience init(string: String) {

        var uppercasedString = string.uppercased()
        uppercasedString.remove(at: string.startIndex)

        var rgbValue: UInt32 = 0
        Scanner(string: uppercasedString).scanHexInt32(&rgbValue)

        let red = CGFloat((rgbValue & 0xFF0000) >> 16) / 255.0
        let green = CGFloat((rgbValue & 0x00FF00) >> 8) / 255.0
        let blue = CGFloat(rgbValue & 0x0000FF) / 255.0

        self.init(red: red, green: green, blue: blue, alpha: 1)
    }
}

Crear color rojo:

let red = UIColor(string: "#ff0000") 

extension UIColor 
{
    class func fromHexaString(hex:String) -> UIColor
    {
        let scanner           = Scanner(string: hex)
        scanner.scanLocation  = 0
        var rgbValue: UInt64  = 0
        scanner.scanHexInt64(&rgbValue)

        return UIColor(
            red: CGFloat((rgbValue & 0xFF0000) >> 16) / 255.0,
            green: CGFloat((rgbValue & 0x00FF00) >> 8) / 255.0,
            blue: CGFloat(rgbValue & 0x0000FF) / 255.0,
            alpha: CGFloat(1.0)
        )
    }
}

//you can call like this.

UIColor.fromHexaString(hex:3276b1)

 You Can Get UIColor From String Code Like
   circularSpinner.fillColor = [self getUIColorObjectFromHexString:@"27b8c8" alpha:9];

 //Function For Hex Color Use
    - (unsigned int)intFromHexString:(NSString *)hexStr
    {
        unsigned int hexInt = 0;

        // Create scanner
        NSScanner *scanner = [NSScanner scannerWithString:hexStr];

        // Tell scanner to skip the # character
        [scanner setCharactersToBeSkipped:[NSCharacterSet characterSetWithCharactersInString:@"#"]];

        // Scan hex value
        [scanner scanHexInt:&hexInt];

        return hexInt;
    }




    - (UIColor *)getUIColorObjectFromHexString:(NSString *)hexStr alpha:(CGFloat)alpha
    {
        // Convert hex string to an integer
        unsigned int hexint = [self intFromHexString:hexStr];

        // Create color object, specifying alpha as well
        UIColor *color =
        [UIColor colorWithRed:((CGFloat) ((hexint & 0xFF0000) >> 16))/255
                        green:((CGFloat) ((hexint & 0xFF00) >> 8))/255
                         blue:((CGFloat) (hexint & 0xFF))/255
                        alpha:alpha];

        return color;
    }

    /Function For Hex Color Use
    - (unsigned int)intFromHexString:(NSString *)hexStr
    {
        unsigned int hexInt = 0;

        // Create scanner
        NSScanner *scanner = [NSScanner scannerWithString:hexStr];

        // Tell scanner to skip the # character
        [scanner setCharactersToBeSkipped:[NSCharacterSet characterSetWithCharactersInString:@"#"]];

        // Scan hex value
        [scanner scanHexInt:&hexInt];

        return hexInt;
    }




    - (UIColor *)getUIColorObjectFromHexString:(NSString *)hexStr alpha:(CGFloat)alpha
    {
        // Convert hex string to an integer
        unsigned int hexint = [self intFromHexString:hexStr];

        // Create color object, specifying alpha as well
        UIColor *color =
        [UIColor colorWithRed:((CGFloat) ((hexint & 0xFF0000) >> 16))/255
                        green:((CGFloat) ((hexint & 0xFF00) >> 8))/255
                         blue:((CGFloat) (hexint & 0xFF))/255
                        alpha:alpha];

        return color;
    }

Me gusta asegurar el alfa además del color, así que escribo mi propia categoría

+ (UIColor *) colorWithHex:(int)color {

    float red = (color & 0xff000000) >> 24;
    float green = (color & 0x00ff0000) >> 16;
    float blue = (color & 0x0000ff00) >> 8;
    float alpha = (color & 0x000000ff);

    return [UIColor colorWithRed:red/255.0 green:green/255.0 blue:blue/255.0 alpha:alpha/255.0];
}

fácil de usar así

[UIColor colorWithHex:0xFF0000FF]; //Red
[UIColor colorWithHex:0x00FF00FF]; //Green
[UIColor colorWithHex:0x00FF00FF]; //Blue
[UIColor colorWithHex:0x0000007F]; //transparent black

Creé un init de conveniencia para eso:

extension UIColor {
convenience init(hex: String, alpha: CGFloat)
{
    let redH = CGFloat(strtoul(hex.substringToIndex(advance(hex.startIndex,2)), nil, 16))
    let greenH = CGFloat(strtoul(hex.substringWithRange(Range<String.Index>(start: advance(hex.startIndex, 2), end: advance(hex.startIndex, 4))), nil, 16))
    let blueH = CGFloat(strtoul(hex.substringFromIndex(advance(hex.startIndex,4)), nil, 16))

    self.init(red: redH/255, green: greenH/255, blue: blueH/255, alpha: alpha)
}
}

entonces puede crear un UIColor en cualquier parte de su proyecto así:

UIColor(hex: "ffe3c8", alpha: 1)

espero que esto ayude...

Puede crear una clase de extensión de UIColor como: -

extensión UIColor {

// MARK: - getColorFromHex / ** Esta función convertirá el código hexadecimal de color a RGB.

- parameter color  hex string.

- returns: RGB color code.
*/
class func getColorFromHex(hexString:String)->UIColor{

    var rgbValue : UInt32 = 0
    let scanner:NSScanner =  NSScanner(string: hexString)

    scanner.scanLocation = 1
    scanner.scanHexInt(&rgbValue)

    return UIColor(red: CGFloat((rgbValue & 0xFF0000) >> 16) / 255.0, green: CGFloat((rgbValue & 0x00FF00) >> 8) / 255.0, blue: CGFloat(rgbValue & 0x0000FF) / 255.0, alpha: CGFloat(1.0))
}

}

Para swift 2.0+. Este código me funciona bien.

extension UIColor {
    /// UIColor(hexString: "#cc0000")
    internal convenience init?(hexString:String) {
        guard hexString.characters[hexString.startIndex] == Character("#") else {
            return nil
        }
        guard hexString.characters.count == "#000000".characters.count else {
            return nil
        }
        let digits = hexString.substringFromIndex(hexString.startIndex.advancedBy(1))
        guard Int(digits,radix:16) != nil else{
            return nil
        }
        let red = digits.substringToIndex(digits.startIndex.advancedBy(2))
        let green = digits.substringWithRange(Range<String.Index>(start: digits.startIndex.advancedBy(2),
            end: digits.startIndex.advancedBy(4)))
        let blue = digits.substringWithRange(Range<String.Index>(start:digits.startIndex.advancedBy(4),
            end:digits.startIndex.advancedBy(6)))
        let redf = CGFloat(Double(Int(red, radix:16)!) / 255.0)
        let greenf = CGFloat(Double(Int(green, radix:16)!) / 255.0)
        let bluef = CGFloat(Double(Int(blue, radix:16)!) / 255.0)
        self.init(red: redf, green: greenf, blue: bluef, alpha: CGFloat(1.0))
    }
}

Este código incluye la verificación del formato de cadena. p.ej

let aColor = UIColor(hexString: "#dadada")!
let failed = UIColor(hexString: "123zzzz")

Y hasta donde yo sé, mi código no es una desventaja para mantener la semántica de la condición fallida y devolver un valor opcional. Y esta debería ser la mejor respuesta.

La versión Swift 2.0 de la solución que manejará el valor alfa del color y con un perfecto manejo de errores está aquí:

func RGBColor(hexColorStr : String) -> UIColor?{

    var red:CGFloat = 0.0
    var green:CGFloat = 0.0
    var blue:CGFloat = 0.0
    var alpha:CGFloat = 1.0

    if hexColorStr.hasPrefix("#"){

        let index   = hexColorStr.startIndex.advancedBy(1)
        let hex     = hexColorStr.substringFromIndex(index)
        let scanner = NSScanner(string: hex)
        var hexValue: CUnsignedLongLong = 0

        if scanner.scanHexLongLong(&hexValue)
        {
            if hex.characters.count == 6
            {
                red   = CGFloat((hexValue & 0xFF0000) >> 16) / 255.0
                green = CGFloat((hexValue & 0x00FF00) >> 8)  / 255.0
                blue  = CGFloat(hexValue & 0x0000FF) / 255.0
            }
            else if hex.characters.count == 8
            {
                red   = CGFloat((hexValue & 0xFF000000) >> 24) / 255.0
                green = CGFloat((hexValue & 0x00FF0000) >> 16) / 255.0
                blue  = CGFloat((hexValue & 0x0000FF00) >> 8)  / 255.0
                alpha = CGFloat(hexValue & 0x000000FF)         / 255.0
            }
            else
            {
                print("invalid hex code string, length should be 7 or 9", terminator: "")
                return nil
            }
        }
        else
        {
            print("scan hex error")
       return nil
        }
    }

    let color: UIColor =  UIColor(red:CGFloat(red), green: CGFloat(green), blue:CGFloat(blue), alpha: alpha)
    return color
}

    //UIColorWithHexString

    static UIColor * UIColorWithHexString(NSString *hex) {
        unsigned int rgb = 0;
        [[NSScanner scannerWithString:
          [[hex uppercaseString] stringByTrimmingCharactersInSet:
           [[NSCharacterSet characterSetWithCharactersInString:@"0123456789ABCDEF"] invertedSet]]]
         scanHexInt:&rgb];
        return [UIColor colorWithRed:((CGFloat)((rgb & 0xFF0000) >> 16)) / 255.0
                               green:((CGFloat)((rgb & 0xFF00) >> 8)) / 255.0
                                blue:((CGFloat)(rgb & 0xFF)) / 255.0
                               alpha:1.0];
    }

Uso

self.view.backgroundColor = UIColorWithHexString(@"#0F35C0");
