My current long term project utilizes a palette of custom colors. In code, we are using a category to access these colors by name. This works great but there are times, such as when building a nib, that these colors won't be set programmatically.
I am looking for a way to define a named set of colors. For instance, when setting a background color for a UIView, I would like my drop list in Interface Builder to list my custom colors by name. Does anyone know of a way to achieve this? Thanks!

Xcode 9
You now have another option to add Color Sets or Named Colors to your assets. This is new in Xcode 9.
1. Adding Named Colors to Your Project
In *.xcassets > right-click > New Color Set
2. Assigning Name Colors to Views
Your new Named Colors show up in your Color Picker now in their own section.
