Convert NSColor to RGB

I'm trying to convert an NSColor to RGB, but it seems to give an entirely incorrect result:

NSColor *testColor = [NSColor colorWithCalibratedWhite:0.65 alpha:1.0];

const CGFloat* components = CGColorGetComponents(testColor.CGColor);
NSLog(@"Red: %f", components[0]);
NSLog(@"Green: %f", components[1]);
NSLog(@"Blue: %f", components[2]);
NSLog(@"Alpha: %f", CGColorGetAlpha(testColor.CGColor));

I get back : red = 0.65 - green = 1.0 - blue = 0.0 and alpha is 1.0 - which results in an entirely different color. (It should be gray, now it's green).

Am I doing something wrong?

Solution

  • You need to convert the color to an RGB color space using an NSColorSpace object first, then you can get the components using the various NSColor accessor methods
