Advanced Colors in iOS
summary
Recommends using P3 color space for wide‑gamut assets (about 25% larger than sRGB), defines a semantic colors system that cuts color experiment time dramatically, and shows concrete fixes: call UIColor(named:bundle:) when using asset catalogs across bundles and avoid Interface Builder baked values by applying overrides in viewDidAppear/viewDidLayout. Describes namespacing assets, syncing color JSON via CI (Jenkins/Travis or Slack hooks), using Decodable + property observers for dynamic colors, and checks like Stark/Smoke and contrast ≥4.5:1 for accessibility.
