The best way to initilise your shared colour is like this:

+ (UIColor *)color
{
    static UIColor *color;
    static dispatch_once_t onceToken;
    dispatch_once(&onceToken, ^{
        color = [[UIColor alloc] init...];
    });
    return color;
}

It is thread safe and only initialises the colour once. That way there is no way that you can leak the colour.
