Returns the view containing the receiver’s user interface.

## Declaration

```swift
@MainActor func provideNewView(_ initialRequest: Bool) -> NSView
```

## Parameters

- `initialRequest`: doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Swift/true only when this method is first invoked for your color picker. If initialRequest is doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Swift/true, the method should perform any initialization required (such as lazily loading a nib file, initializing the view, or performing any other custom initialization required for your picker).

## Return Value

Return Value The view containing the color picker’s user interface. The NSView returned by this method should be set to automatically resize both its width and height.

## Discussion

Discussion This message is sent to the color picker whenever the color panel attempts to display it. This may be when the panel is first presented, when the user switches pickers, or when the picker is switched through an API.
