Image Colour Reflect UI Background Colour?

Anyone know how Apple manages to make the UI colour the same as the Image or another object colour?

Like overall I think this is a really cool fun effect I'd love to play with this effect some somehow

Heres an example with how the New Safari does it with the page colour but I see it with other Apple apps like the music Player app for example.

  • I probably miss something.

    What is here the other object ? What is the color match in the screen shots ? It is easy to get a color of an object (its background) or find the color of a pixel on screen. So, what is the exact problem you face ?

  • It's not really a problem based but more of like an interest in getting something to work in a project like for example for a project I was thinking about doing is like having the album artwork reflect the same colour onto the background I was just thinking about how it would work I have saw it with a lot of different Apple apps so that's why I was thinking about working on something similar to it. Like iTunes 11 had the artwork would also show a similar to the background. It's basically like extending the user experience to making the colours blend more so the content matches the user experience.

Like here also an example of how it pulls the colour into the UI

In the screenshots, I do not see what part of the screen it is. Is it one of your views in a view controller.

If so, just change the view background color.

In the ViewController code:

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()

        // Do any additional setup after loading the view.
        self.view.backgroundColor = UIColor.blue
}

Or do you mean you want to adjust background colors of buttons to match the view background ?

Then do this on the buttons:

if the button has an IBOutlet

Then in viewDidLoad:

    @IBOutlet myButton: UIButton!

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()

        // Do any additional setup after loading the view.
                myButton.backgroundColor = self.view.backgroundColor 
}
