After setting a custom background color for a uiview, from xib file, say F0F0F0, it is reflected correctly on app. But next time when i launch xcode and see the color in the color picker on xib file, it shows the default white color (FFFFFF).

Any solution for this?

I see the problem as well in 12.1
Problem did not show in 11.3 for instance.

Apparently, the custom color is reset when opening the picker.

You should file a bug report.

Noticed this same problem in Xcode 12.4 also.

A workaround that works for me:

Click on the custom color to bring up the color chooser.
The color chooser is the wrong color, but select any any other color in the color chooser.
Do CMD+Z to undo the color change. Magically the original custom color is now selected in the color chooser.

Hope it helps!
