How to use Hierarchical Colors in SwiftUI

Greetings, traveler!

In SwiftUI, colors can be organized hierarchically to create a consistent and scalable color system. This hierarchical system typically includes primary, secondary, tertiary, quaternary, and quinary colors.

Each subsequent color will be less opaque. You can use any color you want, including custom presets, accent color, and system colors.

Let’s check out an example.

import SwiftUI

struct ContentView: View {
        
    var body: some View {
        Rectangle()
            .fill(Color.red)
            .frame(height: 80)
        
        Rectangle()
            .fill(Color.red.secondary)
            .frame(height: 80)
        
        Rectangle()
            .fill(Color.red.tertiary)
            .frame(height: 80)
        
        Rectangle()
            .fill(Color.red.quaternary)
            .frame(height: 80)
        
        Rectangle()
            .fill(Color.red.quinary)
            .frame(height: 80)
    }
    
}

However, it is worth considering that this is not a Сolor but a ShapeStyle.
