Hello,

in some cases things you'd expect to solve within a sec turn out to become a lifetime adventure. This is one of these cases :)

All I wanted to do, is simply change the text color of one of my UITextViews. So far I tried:

UIColor *myColor = [UIColor colorWithHue:38 saturation:98 brightness:100 alpha:1.0];
[myTextView setTextColor:myColor];

OR

UIColor *myColor = [UIColor colorWithPatternImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"colorImage.png"]];
[myTextView setTextColor:myColor]; 

Both seem to work fine for UILabels, but fail for UITextView elements. When I try [UIColor colorWithHue... I only get a reddish kinda color, no matter what values I choose (except values for black and white. They work). The colorWithPatternImage does not change textColor at all.

Strange isn't it? I obviously must be missing something. Help is very much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
