UIColor not matching RGB

Question

I have an image in Fireworks. I am using the picker to choose the color and then look at the RGB values. I am putting these values into UIColor:colorWithRed:green:blue:alpha but it is not giving me the same output. I am using values between 1.0 and 0.0.

I am trying to get a dark blue color, the UIColor is giving me a very light blue.

Ideas?

Answer 1

Sounds to me like your calculations for converting the value from fireworks to the value necessary in UIColor is off.

example:

Fireworks RGB values red:64 green:87 blue:188

divide those three number each by 255

gives you [UIColor colorWithRed:0.250980392156863 green:0.341176470588235 blue:0.462745098039216 alpha:1.0]
