Remove dependence on the HexColors pod.

[onato]

I have removed this pod since it can be replaced by just a few lines of code.

Does anyone have objections?

I guess that would be something for @mRs-, who is the developer of HexColors

[mRs-]

Why should we remove the pod? The Pod itself is just working fine. In all of my projects that are working with HexColors i would have doubled my code base…

[KrauseFx]

I agree with @mRs- here. It's an advantage to have a dependency to not pull the same code multiple times if it's already in the project

We should remove it because it is not required to achieve the goal of the project. The user of our library could be using a number of other libraries that do the same thing (quick count on cocoapods 7). At present we force them to also include HexColors.

You raise a good point though Marcus. We can simplify further by not using hex codes to define our colours and removing the category I added.

If the user want to use hex codes they should decide which library they want to use.

What alternative to Hex codes would you use in our JSON configuration?

[onato]

Sorry, an oversight, we need hex codes after all. However we should not tightly couple the project to another.

:+1: because HexColors is now on version v2.3.0 and is outdated.
