I like to use colors as variables/constants like instead of text names like . It's faster, there's less chance of making a mistake, and you can quickly refactor by renaming the color name globally throughout the code. Color(.primaryColor) Color("primary_color") Going through possible solutions to make it easier to work with colors, I decided that I dоn't want to use Swift R for this purpose for a number of reasons. I also don't plan to use Storyboard or Xib files. So, I decided to store colors in code. But I ran into a problem; I couldn't find a standard easy way to create a dynamic color using code that will change automatically depending on the current color scheme in real-time. Later, I found a mechanism in UIColor that allows me to do the intended thing, and I made an initializer based on it. An initializer accepting colors as UIColor would be handy for concise writing with color literals: extension Color { init(_ unspecifiedColor: UIColor, dark darkColor: UIColor, light lightColor: UIColor? = nil) { self = Color(UIColor { switch $0.userInterfaceStyle { case .unspecified: return unspecifiedColor case .dark: return darkColor case .light: return lightColor ?? unspecifiedColor @unknown default: return unspecifiedColor } }) } } Example of use with color literals: extension Color { // Instead of a 🟩 & 🟥 use something like this: // #colorLiteral(red: 0, green: 1, blue: 0, alpha: 1). // Commenting code with ``//`` // will switch between ``🟩`` & ``#colorLiteral(...)``. static let primaryColor = Color(🟩, dark: 🟥) } An initializer accepting colors as SwiftUI.Color will probably come in handy too: extension Color { init(_ unspecifiedColor: Color, dark darkColor: Color, light lightColor: Color? = nil) { let lightUIColor = lightColor.map { UIColor($0) } self.init(UIColor(unspecifiedColor), dark: UIColor(darkColor), light: lightUIColor) } } Example of use with constants: extension Color { static let primaryColor = Color(.red, dark: .blue) } Whole demo app: extension Color { static let primaryColor = Color(🟩, dark: 🟥) } @main struct DynamicColorApp: App { @State var colorSheme: ColorScheme = .light var body: some Scene { WindowGroup { VStack { Text("Green by day and red by night") .foregroundColor(.primaryColor) Button("light") { colorSheme = .light } Button("dark") { colorSheme = .dark } } .preferredColorScheme(colorSheme) } } } Result: I will be glad to answer your comments if you have any remarks or ideas about it.
