DynamicColor is a Swift library that extends UIColor, NSColor, and SwiftUI Color with convenient methods for creating and manipulating colors, including hex string parsing, lighten/darken adjustments, and gradient generation. It provides a platform-independent DynamicColor typealias that works across iOS, macOS, tvOS, and watchOS.

Use cases

• create colors from hex strings in swift
• lighten or darken a uicolor programmatically
• generate color gradients in swiftui
• convert colors to hex strings on ios
• manipulate nscolor values on macos
• build color palettes for an ios app

When to choose

• you need easy color manipulation (lighten, darken, mix, gradients) in Swift or SwiftUI
• you want cross-platform color code shared between iOS and macOS
• you frequently parse or output hex color strings

When to avoid

• you only need basic Color initialization already provided by SwiftUI
• your project is not written in Swift
• you need advanced color science features like wide-gamut or perceptual color spaces
