UIColor Category for over 100 Brand Colors

Installation

Manual

• Add the files in the BrandColors folder to your project.
• #import "UIColor+BrandColors.h"

CocoaPods

platform :ios, '7.0'
pod 'BrandColors'

Usage

Objective-C

UIButton *facebookButton = [[UIButton alloc] init];
facebookButton.backgroundColor = [UIColor bc_colorForBrand:@"Facebook"]; 

NSLog(@"BrandColors contains %@ brands:%@", @([UIColor bc_brands].count),[UIColor bc_brands]);

if ([[UIColor bc_brandsWithLightColor] containsObject:brand]) {
	cell.textLabel.textColor = [UIColor blackColor];    
}
else {
    cell.textLabel.textColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
}

If a brand is not in Brand Colors, the default color returned is [UIColor clearColor]

#define BC_DEFAULT_COLOR [UIColor clearColor]

bc_colorForBrand: attemps to match brands

UIColor *facebookColor;
// facebook or Facebook will work
facebookColor = [UIColor bc_colorForBrand:@"Facebook"]; 
facebookColor = [UIColor bc_colorForBrand:@"facebook"]; 

UIColor *yahooColor;
yahooColor = [UIColor bc_colorForBrand:@"yahoo"]; 
yahooColor = [UIColor bc_colorForBrand:@"Yahoo"]; 
yahooColor = [UIColor bc_colorForBrand:@"Yahoo!"];

Swift

var facebookButton = UIButton()
facebookButton.backgroundColor = UIColor.bc_colorForBrand("Facebook")

println("BrandColors contains \(UIColor.bc_brands().count) brands: \(UIColor.bc_brands())")

let lightColorBrands:[String] = UIColor.bc_brandsWithLightColor() as [String]
if ( contains(lightColorBrands,brand) ) {
  cell.textLabel?.textColor = UIColor.blackColor()
}  
else {
  cell.textLabel?.textColor = UIColor.whiteColor()
}
