How can I get the default iOS red warning color?

How can I get the default iOS red warning color that is used in UIAlertAction with style UIAlertActionStyle.Destructive without composing the color myself?

Solution

  • There is no API that will allow you to access the color at runtime without creating a UIAlertAction.

    I know it's not exactly what you wanted, but you can do something like this:

    extension UIColor {
    class func destructiveColor() -> UIColor {
        return UIColor(red: 1, green: 0.2196078431, blue: 0.137254902, alpha: 1)
    }
}

    Usage:

    let redColor = UIColor.redColor()
let destructiveColor = UIColor.destructiveColor()

    Note that the two reds are slightly different:

    Of course, this solution is imperfect because it will not automatically update if Apple tweaks the color.
