                                                // Solid color

let strokeColor = UIColor(“#FFCC00”).cgColor
// Color with alpha

let fillColor = UIColor(“#FFCC00DD”).cgColor
// Supports shorthand 3 character representation

let backgroundColor = UIColor(“#FFF”)
// Supports shorthand 4 character representation (with alpha)

let menuTextColor = UIColor(“#013E”)
// “#FF0000FF”

let hexString = UIColor.red.hexString()
// Convert shorthand 4 character representation (with alpha) from argb to rgba

if let rgba = “#AFFF”.argb2rgba {

let androidBackgroundColor = UIColor(rgba)

}
