Hue is a Swift utility library for iOS that extends UIColor with convenient color handling features. It provides hex color initialization, color component access, blending, gradient creation, and image color extraction.

Use cases

• initialize UIColor from hex strings like #ffffff
• create gradient layers from an array of colors
• extract dominant colors from a UIImage
• check if a color is dark or black-or-white
• get red, green, blue, and alpha components of a color
• blend and adjust colors with hue, saturation, and brightness

When to choose

• you're building an iOS or UIKit app in Swift and need ergonomic color helpers
• you want to create gradients from UIColor arrays with minimal code
• you need to extract a color palette from images
• you frequently work with hex color values in Swift

When to avoid

• you're building for Android, web, or non-Apple platforms
• your project uses SwiftUI exclusively and you don't touch UIColor
• you need actively maintained dependencies - the last release was 2023 and development appears slow
• you need advanced color science like wide gamut or perceptual color spaces
