extension UIColor {
    convenience init(hexaString: String, alpha: CGFloat = 1) {
        let chars = Array(hexaString.dropFirst())
        self.init(red:   .init(strtoul(String(chars[0...1]),nil,16))/255,
                  green: .init(strtoul(String(chars[2...3]),nil,16))/255,
                  blue:  .init(strtoul(String(chars[4...5]),nil,16))/255,
                  alpha: alpha)}
}

用法:

let redColor       = UIColor(hexaString: "#FF0000")              // r 1,0 g 0,0 b 0,0 a 1,0
let transparentRed = UIColor(hexaString: "#FF0000", alpha: 0.5)  // r 1,0 g 0,0 b 0,0 a 0,5

另一种选择是将六值转换为无符号整数，并从中提取相应的值:

extension UIColor {
    convenience init(hexaString: String, alpha: CGFloat = 1) {
        self.init(hexa: UInt(hexaString.dropFirst(), radix: 16) ?? 0, alpha: alpha)
    }
    convenience init(hexa: UInt, alpha: CGFloat = 1) {
        self.init(red:   .init((hexa & 0xff0000) >> 16) / 255,
                  green: .init((hexa & 0xff00  ) >>  8) / 255,
                  blue:  .init( hexa & 0xff    )        / 255,
                  alpha: alpha)
    }
}

let purpleColor       = UIColor(hexaString: "#FF00FF")    // r 1,0 g 0,0 b 1,0 a 1,0
let transparentYellow = UIColor(hexaString: "#FFFF00", alpha: 0.5)  // r 1,0 g 1,0 b 0,0 a 0,5

另一个带有alpha的版本

#define UIColorFromRGBA(rgbValue) [UIColor colorWithRed:((float)((rgbValue & 0xFF000000) >> 24))/255.0 green:((float)((rgbValue & 0xFF0000) >> 16))/255.0 blue:((float)((rgbValue & 0xFF00) >> 8 ))/255.0 alpha:((float)((rgbValue & 0xFF))/255.0)]

swift 1.2更新

class func colorWithHexString (hex:String) -> UIColor {
    var cString: NSString = hex.stringByTrimmingCharactersInSet(NSCharacterSet.whitespaceAndNewlineCharacterSet()).uppercaseString

    if (cString.hasPrefix("#")) {
        cString = cString.substringFromIndex(1)
    }

    if (count(cString as String) != 6) {
        return UIColor.grayColor()
    }

    var rString: String = cString.substringToIndex(2)
    var gString: String = (cString.substringFromIndex(2) as NSString).substringToIndex(2)
    var bString: String = (cString.substringFromIndex(4) as NSString).substringToIndex(2)

    var r:CUnsignedInt = 0, g:CUnsignedInt = 0, b:CUnsignedInt = 0;
    NSScanner(string: rString).scanHexInt(&r)
    NSScanner(string: gString).scanHexInt(&g)
    NSScanner(string: bString).scanHexInt(&b)
    return UIColor(red: CGFloat(Float(r) / 255.0), green: CGFloat(Float(g) / 255.0), blue: CGFloat(Float(b) / 255.0), alpha: CGFloat(1))

}

大多数发布的解决方案使用了Scanner，但至少在现代Swift中你并不真正需要它。相反，你可以简单地使用UInt init和基数16，然后使用基本的二进制操作来获得UIColor组件:

func stringToColor(color: String) -> UIColor {
    guard let i = UInt(color, radix: 16) else {
        return UIColor.white
    }
    return UIColor(
        red: CGFloat((i & 0xFF0000) >> 16) / 255.0,
        green: CGFloat((i & 0xFF00) >> 8) / 255.0,
        blue: CGFloat(i & 0xFF) / 255.0,
        alpha: 1.0
    )
}

这个解决方案期望输入像“FF00FF”，你可能需要删除前面的哈希符号(#)，如果你的字符串中有一个。

另一个实现允许字符串“FFF”或“FFFFFF”，并使用alpha:

+ (UIColor *) colorFromHexString:(NSString *)hexString alpha: (CGFloat)alpha{
    NSString *cleanString = [hexString stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:@"#" withString:@""];
    if([cleanString length] == 3) {
        cleanString = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@%@%@%@%@%@",
                       [cleanString substringWithRange:NSMakeRange(0, 1)],[cleanString substringWithRange:NSMakeRange(0, 1)],
                       [cleanString substringWithRange:NSMakeRange(1, 1)],[cleanString substringWithRange:NSMakeRange(1, 1)],
                       [cleanString substringWithRange:NSMakeRange(2, 1)],[cleanString substringWithRange:NSMakeRange(2, 1)]];
    }
    if([cleanString length] == 6) {
        cleanString = [cleanString stringByAppendingString:@"ff"];
    }

    unsigned int baseValue;
    [[NSScanner scannerWithString:cleanString] scanHexInt:&baseValue];

    float red = ((baseValue >> 24) & 0xFF)/255.0f;
    float green = ((baseValue >> 16) & 0xFF)/255.0f;
    float blue = ((baseValue >> 8) & 0xFF)/255.0f;

    return [UIColor colorWithRed:red green:green blue:blue alpha:alpha];
}

Swift 5, iOS 14

convenience init(hex: String, alpha: CGFloat = 1.0) {
    var hexFormatted: String = hex.trimmingCharacters(in: CharacterSet.whitespacesAndNewlines).uppercased()
    
    if hexFormatted.hasPrefix("#") {
        hexFormatted = String(hexFormatted.dropFirst())
    }
    
    assert(hexFormatted.count == 6, "Invalid hex code used.")
    
    var rgbValue: UInt64 = 0
    Scanner(string: hexFormatted).scanHexInt64(&rgbValue)
    
    self.init(red: CGFloat((rgbValue & 0xFF0000) >> 16) / 255.0,
              green: CGFloat((rgbValue & 0x00FF00) >> 8) / 255.0,
              blue: CGFloat(rgbValue & 0x0000FF) / 255.0,
              alpha: alpha)
}
