    To convert the hexacode to color we can create a category of UIColor and implement the following code -

    it will return the code corresponding to that hexacode

    Hexa code can be in following format

    1- #RGB
    2 -#ARGB
    3- #RRGGBB
    4- #AARRGGBB

    How to Create the category of an exiting class

    1- Open your Xcode

    2- Go to File menu -> file -> Add new file

    3- Select objective-C file

    4- You will se three option (File, File type, Class)

    5- File - Enter your file name

    6- File type (select category)

    7- Class (UIColor)

     

    + (UIColor *) colorWithHexString: (NSString *) hexString {   
        NSString *colorString = [[hexString stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString: @"#" withString: @""] uppercaseString];
        CGFloat alpha, red, blue, green;
        switch ([colorString length]) {
            case 3:  //#RGB
                alpha = 1.0f;
                red   = [self colorComponentFrom: colorString start: 0 length: 1];
                green = [self colorComponentFrom: colorString start: 1 length: 1];
                blue  = [self colorComponentFrom: colorString start: 2 length: 1];
                break;

                blue  = [self colorComponentFrom: colorString start: 6 length: 2];
                break;

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

        NSString *substring = [string substringWithRange: NSMakeRange(start, length)];
        NSString *fullHex = length == 2 ? substring : [NSString stringWithFormat: @"%@%@", substring, substring];
        unsigned hexComponent;
        [[NSScanner scannerWithString: fullHex] scanHexInt: &hexComponent];
        return hexComponent / 255.0;
    }
