Changing UIImage color

Since iOS 7, this is the most simple way of doing it.

Objective-C:

theImageView.image = [theImageView.image imageWithRenderingMode:UIImageRenderingModeAlwaysTemplate];
[theImageView setTintColor:[UIColor redColor]];

Swift 2.0:

theImageView.image = theImageView.image?.imageWithRenderingMode(.AlwaysTemplate) 
theImageView.tintColor = UIColor.magentaColor()

Swift 4.0:

theImageView.image = theImageView.image?.withRenderingMode(.alwaysTemplate) 
theImageView.tintColor = .magenta

Storyboard:

First configure the image as template ( on right bar - Render as) in your assets. Then the color of the image would be the tint color applied.

This is pretty much the answer above, but slightly shortened. This only takes the image as a mask and does not actually "multiply" or color the image.

Objective C:

    UIColor *color = <# UIColor #>;
    UIImage *image = <# UIImage #>;// Image to mask with
    UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(image.size, NO, image.scale);
    CGContextRef context = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext();
    [color setFill];
    CGContextTranslateCTM(context, 0, image.size.height);
    CGContextScaleCTM(context, 1.0, -1.0);
    CGContextClipToMask(context, CGRectMake(0, 0, image.size.width, image.size.height), [image CGImage]);
    CGContextFillRect(context, CGRectMake(0, 0, image.size.width, image.size.height));

    UIImage *coloredImg = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();

    UIGraphicsEndImageContext();

Swift:

    let color: UIColor = <# UIColor #>
    let image: UIImage = <# UIImage #> // Image to mask with
    UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(image.size, false, image.scale)
    let context = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext()
    color.setFill()
    context?.translateBy(x: 0, y: image.size.height)
    context?.scaleBy(x: 1.0, y: -1.0)
    context?.clip(to: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: image.size.width, height: image.size.height), mask: image.cgImage!)
    context?.fill(CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: image.size.width, height: image.size.height))
    let coloredImg = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext()
    UIGraphicsEndImageContext()
