SwiftUI how to get dynamic color?

Question

I have a config file and I want to change colors there. But in my view function background(bg1Color) gives me error;

Argument type 'UIColor' does not conform to expected type 'View'

How can I fix this?

My config file;

import UIKit
import Foundation

// Backgrounds
var bg1Color: UIColor = .black

My function codes;

.background(bg1Color) // HERE
.cornerRadius(10)

.background modifier takes a View and unlike SwiftUI's Color, UIKit's UIColor is not conformed to View protocol (by default).

So you need to create a Color from your UIColor and then pass it to the .background modifier.

.background(Color(bg1Color))

or directly:

.background(Color(.black))

Very Important Note!

UIColor and Color predefined named colors are not the same! And they have different shades!

So you should NOT just replace UIColor with Color.

_{Actually SwiftIUI.Color.red quals to UIKit.UIClor.systemRed}
