The immediate problem is that the error message is spurious. Method “blendedColorWithFraction(:ofColor:)” has been renamed in Swift 3 to “blendedColor(withFraction:of:)”, so your array cannot be constructed as the desired type "[GCColor]".

The secondary problem is that “blendedColor(withFraction:of:)” returns an optional, so you need a “!” operator after it.

The third problem is that you need “as CGArray”. There would have been a fix-it for this, if the first two problems had been fixed. The following code compiles in a (macOS) playground:

I would expect the iOS version is the same, if that’s what you need.

For puzzling problems like this, I suggest “unrolling” the parameters like the above, specifying explicit type annotations if you’re not sure what types are being inferred.
