Here is a simple category to make using hex values for UIColor easier.

// UIColor+Hex.h

@interface UIColor (Hex)

+ (UIColor *) colorWithHex:(uint) hex;

@end

// UIColor+Hex.m

#import "UIColor+Hex.h"

@implementation UIColor (Hex)

+ (UIColor *) colorWithHex:(uint) hex
{
	int red, green, blue, alpha;
	
	blue = hex & 0x000000FF;
	green = ((hex & 0x0000FF00) >> 8);
	red = ((hex & 0x00FF0000) >> 16);
	alpha = ((hex & 0xFF000000) >> 24);
	
	return [UIColor colorWithRed:red/255.0f 
                               green:green/255.0f 
                               blue:blue/255.0f 
                               alpha:alpha/255.f];
}
