How to view a color code in the Xcode xib editor?

Question

I've been using a color that I chose with a color picker in Xcode. I need to use that color programmatically now, but I don't know its hex code.

Is there a way to see it in Xcode?

I'm using Xcode 4.2.

As of Xcode 6, users can view both RGB, CMYK, HSB and the Hex value as shown below. (No need for conversion)

This answer is correct but it is worth noting that colour values must be set to 8 bit (0-255) in order to see the hex value. The hex value will not appear if colour value is set to float (0.0-1.0) – arcady bob Dec 07 '16 at 23:15
@arcadybob well if the values are in float then just multiple them with 255 (denormalize) and then you can find the hex value by using the above method. – 4aRk Kn1gh7 Dec 08 '16 at 10:54

Assuming you are talking about picking color in xcode interface builder, the answer can be obtained in 2 steps:

Step 1: Get RGB values by following this link.

Step 2: Convert that to hex code by following this link

Hi, Hitman. I could have been more clear. I used the color picker to set a color for a button's title text. I tried your idea like: `NSLog(@"color:%@",[myButton titleColorForState:UIControlStateNormal]);` but got these values: `color:UIDeviceRGBColorSpace 0.196078 0.309804 0.521569 1`. I guess the 1 is the alpha channel, but I'm not sure what to do with the RGB values. – Louis Waweru Nov 01 '11 at 13:36
[UIColor colorwithRed :blue ]//some function is there.use that – Tendulkar Nov 01 '11 at 13:49
Thank you. It's `[UIColor colorWithRed: green: blue: alpha: ]`. – Louis Waweru Nov 01 '11 at 15:22
