## What it is
An Objective-C library for iOS and macOS that provides a predefined color palette and UIColor/NSColor helper methods for hex conversion, RGBA/HSBA/CIELAB/CMYK components, and color scheme generation. It also ships a Swift variant and supports CocoaPods installation.

## Use cases
- convert uicolor to hex string in ios
- generate a complementary color scheme in swift
- get rgba components from a color on ios
- darken or lighten a uicolor programmatically
- choose black or white text color for contrast
- predefined color palette for ios app design

## When to choose
- you are building an iOS or macOS app in Objective-C or Swift and need color manipulation helpers
- you want a quick, lightweight color palette without heavy dependencies

## When to avoid
- you are targeting Android or cross-platform frameworks natively without the Xamarin/Android ports
- you need actively maintained color libraries with modern Swift Package Manager support

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: ui-components, developer-tools
- domain: mobile-development, web-design, developer-tools
- platform: cpp
- tags: uicolor, nscolor, color-palette, color-scheme, objective-c, cocoapods, ios, macos, swift
