While it might be considered overkill, the way I would do this is to make a UIColor category:

@interface UIColor (MyColor)
+ (UIColor *) myColor;
@end

@implementation UIColor (MyColor)
+ (UIColor *) myColor {
  return [UIColor colorWithRed:0.11 green:0.11 blue:0.11 alpha:1.0];
}
@end

Make sure the @interface bit is #imported wherever you need it, and now you can get your color by doing:

UIColor * myColor = [UIColor myColor];

Categories are one of the reasons I fell in love with this language.  =)

HTH,

Dave

I'm setting up my constants in my app, and have come across a problem. I wish to have a standard UIColor to use for all titles in my app but I get the error "error: initializer element is not constant" and for obvious reasons , but my question is: How am I 'supposed' to implement a single global UIColor?

#import "XXConstants.h"

@implementation XXConstants
const NSString *const1 = @"MyString";
const int  const2 = 111;

UIColor * const3 = [UIColor colorWithRed:.11 green:.11 blue:.11 alpha:1]; //the offender

@end
