UIColor(named:) Crashing for no apparent reason accessing .xcassets

I have an .

xcassets

In code I access with

UIColor(named:)

var colour = UIColor(named: "<#a colour that exists with this name#>")

but I get a

Thread 1: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (code=1, address=0x8)

I am having same uses trying to access images from a separate .

xcassets

Colours and Images exist yet Xcode crashes.Its as if the colours and images don't exist but they do.

I have tried removing and re-adding the colours and images buts same useless error each time.

included the backtrace
