Answer 1

The default navbar color in iOS 7 is [UIColor colorWithRed:(247.0f/255.0f) green:(247.0f/255.0f) blue:(247.0f/255.0f) alpha:1];

Bloodcurdling

Do you mean : [UIColor colorWithRed:(247.0f/255) green:(247.0f/255) blue:(247.0f/255) alpha:1] – Constraint

@Constraint there is no difference between your code and my code ;-) f just tells the compiler that this number is a float. – Bloodcurdling

Can you explain how do you know it ? – Roselinerosella

@Roselinerosella Just take a screenshot and found it with color picker in Photoshop. :-) – Bloodcurdling

Since colorWithRed:green:blue:alpha: expects floats it should be 255.0f instead of 255.0. The later one is double and results in a compiler warning because of implicit casting. [UIColor colorWithRed:(247.0f/255.0f) green:(247.0f/255.0f) blue:(247.0f/255.0f) alpha:1]; – Mettlesome

Is there any way to get this programmatically in case Apple decides to change this in the future? – Beardsley

Answer 3

To get the tint color of a navigation bar, do this:

[aNavbar barTintColor]

By using this when you set the background color of your menu, you will not have to change it in case you change your navigation bar tint.

Swift 4

I am not sure the color does not change from version to version. In my app I use this:

var navBarDefaultColor: UIColor?

// save:
navBarDefaultColor = self.navigationController?.navigationBar.tintColor

//restore:
self.navigationController?.navigationBar.tintColor = navBarDefaultColor!
