Storyboard is not showing custom color hex code in XCode 12.0.1 - ios

After updating to the latest Xcode, into storyboard I am not able to see actual custom color hex code. It is showing a white(FFFFFF) color hex code all time.
Can someone please help me with this? Please check the below screenshot.


I have noticed this same problem since the latest XCode Version 12.0.1.
A workaround that works for me is to
Click on the custom color to bring up the color chooser.
The color chooser is the wrong color, but tap on any other color in the color chooser.
Tap Cmd+Z to undo the color change. Magically the original custom color is now selected in the color chooser.


Almost the same idea work around and quicker without needing to change the color (and then reverse):
Select your color (this will make the color picker appear) in the drop list.
Select again your color (with the picker still shown) in the drop list (not in the color picker window), it will update the picker to your color.


Apple has now fixed this issue in Xcode 12.5
Fixed an issue where the custom colors swatch in an inspector’s color
properties displayed an incorrectly offset focus indicator.

iOS 13 Navigation Bar Prompt is Always Black

I have read the other posts about the UINavigationBar's Prompt not following the color values of the actual Title. Most of the posts are from the iOS 11 era, and the solutions no longer work on iOS 13.
These are examples of previous posts that no longer have working solutions:
Can't change UINavigationBar prompt color
Change font of prompt in UINavigationController
iPhone: Possible to change the color of just the prompt of the UINavigationBar?
Has anyone else encountered this?

I would suggest the following:
Check that the device is not running in Dark Mode.
Verify that the background-color was not modified anywhere in the code.
Make sure that the style is set to default like in the screenshot below:

Bar button item tint colors with iOS bold text settings

I've received a screenshot from my app by an older lady who seems to have activated "Bold text" in her iPhone settings.
Since I've never really looked at that before and my app does not support dynamic text (which seems to not be related) I was surprised to see that in this mode the tint colors I gave my bar button items are being ignored and they'll always show in standard iOS Nav bar button blue, this line of code does not have an effect anymore:
myBarButtonItem.tintColor = myColor
In my case the color indicates their state so that's a dealbreaker.
I know that I could detect whether the user has activated this setting (as indicated in the answer here Possible to detect Bold Text setting in Settings > Accessibility? ) and indicate the state by using different icons...
But is there any way around this and keep my tint colors in bold text mode?

Try with appearance
UIBarButtonItem.appearance().tintColor = yourcolor

Xcode: reverting back to default color in iOS

I am trying to find a way to revert back to the system default color programmatically for iOS components using code. The only other way would be to use 2 controls - 1 set to either color and switch them.
Any info is appreciated. Thanks.

I tried below code in order to change the background of a button to its default color and it worked for me
submitBtn.backgroundColor = UIColor.clear

Select Color Picker From Xib , then choose the RGB Slider from second option Color Slider , now you can Enter HEX color (Below RGB Slider) Codes or Select RGB Values from Sliders.

xcode version 11.x
Within the view controller,
click on custom for background.
Click on the 3 line rgb sliders tab
Click Grayscale slider
Choose RGB Sliders

Can't change font in XCode 6.1.1

Within XCode 6.1.1 I'm unable to change the font on my label within my storyboard. I can set 'Text' to either 'Plain' or 'Attributed', but then [T] next to Helevetica Neue 17.0 appears grayed out, and it does not do anything when I click it. This happens in all of my projects.
Screenshot here: https://i.imgur.com/3VOSsVn.png
Thank you!
Edit: Unfortunately none of the answers below have answered my question yet. The [T] is unclickable.. it is grayed out so I can't change the Font to custom under there. And while I could go in and enter code to change the font, I would prefer to do it through the GUI.

This problem was driving me crazy - your workaround works for the normal storyboard, but not for the Watch storyboard which has a custom fonts popup.
I finally found this page:
https://github.com/synergy/synergy/issues/4109
It's a bug with using Synergy - I connected a USB mouse to my Mac and when I click the font "T" icon with the USB mouse, it works!!!!

Actually, you have to first select a syntax category in the detail area. You can press CMD+A to select all categories. Then you can click the "T" and select a new font.
See here: https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/recipes/xcode_help-fonts_and_colors_preferences_help/Recipe.html

In the "font", change "system" to "custom”

You can set font for labels in two ways- programmatically and in storyboard.
In your storyboard, you need to click the little T and then select the wanted font.
In your code, assuming you already set the appropriate IBOutlets, you can use something like
[self.theTextLabel setFont:[UIFont boldSystemFontOfSize:17.0]];

Tap on the "T" sign next to the already assigned font, then change "system" to "custom”. Once the settings are on custom the font can be changed as well as it's weight (ie. light, bold...)

I did find a workaround... I can bring up the font menu by crtl-shift-opt-T and change the font there and changes I make are reflected on the page... but the [T] is still still grayed out for some reason.
