Chameleon is a lightweight color framework for iOS written in Objective-C with Swift support. It provides flat color palettes, gradient generation, hex code support, color extraction from images, and automatic contrast/readability handling.
Use cases
- generate gradient colors in an iOS app
- convert hex codes to UIColor
- pick readable text colors for any background
- extract dominant colors from an image
- use flat color palettes in Swift or Objective-C
- create color schemes for app themes
When to choose
- building an older iOS app targeting Swift 3 / iOS 8 era toolchains
- you need a batteries-included UIColor extension library with gradients and flat palettes
When to avoid
- starting a new modern Swift project - the library is unmaintained since 2021 and tied to Swift 3
- you need SwiftUI or cross-platform color support
- you only need simple hex conversion - a small extension suffices
