How can I convert RGB hex string into UIColor in objective-c?

by

You’re close but colorWithRed:green:blue:alpha: expects values ranging from 0.0 to 1.0, so you need to shift the bits right and divide by 255.0f:

CGFloat red   = ((baseColor1 & 0xFF0000) >> 16) / 255.0f;
CGFloat green = ((baseColor1 & 0x00FF00) >>  8) / 255.0f;
CGFloat blue  =  (baseColor1 & 0x0000FF) / 255.0f;

EDIT – Also NSScanner’s scanHexInt will skip past 0x in front of a hex string, but I don’t think it will skip the # character in front of your hex string. You can add this line to handle that:

[scanner2 setCharactersToBeSkipped:[NSCharacterSet symbolCharacterSet]];
