shared method Cocoa Drawing MBS MacBase Plugin 18.4 ✅ Yes ❌ No ❌ No ✅ Yes All
Create component-based colors that are compatible with sRGB colorspace.

These methods are effectively same as colorWithSRGBHSV:, but provided for easier reuse of code that uses UIColor on iOS. If red, green, blue, or saturation, brightness, or white values are outside of the 0..1 range, these will create colors in the extended sRGB (or for colorWithWhite:alpha:, extendedGenericGamma22GrayColorSpace) color spaces. This behavior is compatible with iOS UIColor.
