       NSString *hexString=[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%02X%02X%02X",red,green,blue];
       NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:@"http://localhost/adi/adnan.php"];

       NSString *messageBody = hexString;
       NSString *msgLength = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%d", [messageBody length]];
       [theRequest setHTTPMethod:@"POST"];
       [theRequest addValue: msgLength forHTTPHeaderField:@"Content-Length"];
       [theRequest setValue:@"application/x-www-form-urlencoded" forHTTPHeaderField:@"Content-Type"];
       [theRequest setHTTPBody:[messageBody dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
       NSURLConnection *theConnection = [[NSURLConnection alloc] initWithRequest:theRequest delegate:self];
    if(theConnection)
                     {
    NSLog(@"Connection Successful");
    NSURLResponse *response;
    NSError *err;
    NSData *responseData = [NSURLConnection sendSynchronousRequest:theRequest returningResponse:&response error:&err];
    NSLog(@"responseData here is: %@", responseData);
    NSString *str = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:responseData encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
    NSLog(@"responseData: %@", str);

You're missing the parameter name from the form data:

NSString *hexString = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%02X%02X%02X", red, green, blue];

It should be 

NSString *hexString = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"color=%02X%02X%02X", red, green, blue];

and then retrieve it server-side like this

$color = $_POST['color'];

Alternatively, if you don't want to specify a parameter name, you can get the full request body server-side like this:

$requestBody = file_get_contents('php://input'); // will be the hex string
