NSColorList for iOS

11 July 2014

When developing my apps I usually create a category on UIColor and a custom color palette (CLR file) for Interface Builder for my specific colors. But this means I have to add new colors and update old colors in 2 places. I could create a bunch of IBOutlets, set colors in code, and not use the CLR file, but I hate creating a ton of IBOutlets.

I would like to include the CLR file in my bundle and then access the colors wherever I need in code. On OS X I believe I could achieve this with the NSColorList class.

NSColorList should be ported to iOS.
