This is good to use:
#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]


cell.textColor = UIColorFromRGB(0x333333);

The arguments to that UIColor method should be in the range of 0 to 1.
Divide each RGB value by 255 to get them into that range.


This is more of a PSA than anything (because I've seen more than a fair
share of devs slap themselves on the head here too): Always ensure your
using floating point division if your going to do this. That means always
dividing by 255.0. I've seen too many people asking "why do I always get
black" and pointed out "because you forgot the .0" :).

Well, I guess that explains that. I finally just gave up and did the math
myself.


Good tip, thanks!

What I've always wondered in this particular context of our color component specifications
ranging from 0.0 to 1.0 is why the System RGB color chooser displays the component
values in the range 0 to 255? You'd think by now there'd be a 'Developer Friendly'
version of the chooser . . .
