Is it possible to give custom color codes to UIKit controls?

Either by passing hex color values or working with RGB values?

Just noticed in the documentation there is a initWithRed:green:blue:alpha: method

Any way of getting hex codes to work?

A use of the following macro would allow me to accomplish what I am looking for 

#define UIColorFromRGB(rgbValue) [UIColor \
colorWithRed:((float)((rgbValue & 0xFF0000) >> 16))/255.0 \
green:((float)((rgbValue & 0xFF00) >> 8))/255.0 \
blue:((float)(rgbValue & 0xFF))/255.0 alpha:1.0]

To change the color is just a matter of calling the macro

self.view.backgroundColor = UIColorFromRGB(0xFEBFBF);

Your other option is to convert your hex values to RGB and enter them in the interface builder.
