SOLVED: Problems extending Color

	@ty-n-42 Jan '22 I tried to make an extension to Color but it doesn't work in SwiftUI. I noticed that Color has the @Frozen attribute - I think that means it can't be extended. Does anyone know if there is a way to create custom named colors that can be used in SwiftUI e.g. `Color.myCustomColor Text("Hello World") .foregroundColor(.myCustomColor)` 3
	@roosterboy HWS+ Jan '22 You can absolutely extend `Color`. You can do it like so: `import SwiftUI extension Color { static let myCustomColor = Color(red: 0.9, green: 0.5, blue: 0.9) static let myCustomColor2 = Color(uiColor: .quaternaryLabel) static let myCustomColor3 = Color("namedColor") //or using any other initializer for Color }` `@frozen` just means you can't add new stored instance properties to it. 3
	@ty-n-42 Jan '22 Thanks @roosterboy - I didn't think to try making a static constant property. 3
	@roosterboy HWS+ Jan '22 You can also do it with a computed variable or a function if you need to include logic: `extension Color { var myCustomColor4: Color { if UITraitCollection.current.userInterfaceStyle == .dark { return .teal } else { return .cyan } } func myCustomColor5(userIsRegistered: Bool) -> Color { if userIsRegistered { return .green } else { return .red } } }` 4
