You can get selector using NSSelectorFromString function and then send it to UIColor. You must also test if UIColor is able to respond to the selector you have to avoid error:

SEL blackSel = NSSelectorFromString(@"blackColor");
UIColor* tColor = nil;
if ([UIColor respondsToSelector: blackSel])
      tColor  = [UIColor performSelector:blackSel];
