How to get the name of a UIColor?

I have an array of UIColors like 

[UIColor blueColor];

is it possible to get the name "blue" from that UIColor, to display it in a string?

A list of color names can be obtained using runtime. See my question: How to get all Color methods of UIColor?

You can also use string methods to convert 'xxxColor' to 'xxx' if needed.

You can get RGB and Alpha of the UIColor, if you want.

There's nothing built in to UIKit, but Erica Sadun's uicolor-utilities library adds similar functionality.
