Customizing Annotation Color Pickers on iOS

There are a couple of places in PSPDFKit that open a color picker to let the user choose, for example, which color an annotation should be drawn in. Whenever possible, PSPDFKit uses the UIKit-provided UIColorPickerViewController, which ensures a consistent user interface across apps and provides a familiar user experience. UIColorPickerViewController provides three different palettes to select custom colors: a color grid, a color spectrum, and RGB sliders. Additionally, an extremely useful eye dropper tool is also available to sample colors from any part of the screen.

Legacy Color Picker

PSPDFKit uses a legacy color picker in apps built with Mac Catalyst, because the system-provided color picker is limited and offers an inadequate user experience compared to the color picker on iOS.

Customizing the legacy color picker has no effect on the UIKit-provided color picker. The legacy color picker is deprecated and will be removed in the future.
