I am trying to get desired color rendered in the background of Tab Bar however I am facing problems. These are the things that I tried :-
Changing the background color of tab bar object from storyboard. The color rendered is always lighter than the desired color. Programmatically changing the color of the tab bar using the following code inside viewDidLoad() method self.tabBar.translucent = false self.tabBar.backgroundColor = UIColor(hexString: "323B61") It doesn't change the color. Instead , the color rendered is white.
How can I get the desired color for Tab Bar?
To change background colour of UITabBar
TabBarController* Tcontroller =(TabBarController*)self.window.rootViewController;
Tcontroller.tabBar.barTintColor=[UIColor yourcolour];
Swift 3
Based on the code above, you can get it by doing this
let Tcontroller = self.window.rootViewController as? UITabBarController
Tcontroller?.tabBar.barTintColor = UIColor.black // your color
or in more general
UITabBar.appearance().barTintColor = UIColor.black // your color
We can also do it from Storyboard
1) Select the Tab Bar first:

2) Then from the Attribute Inspector choose Bar Tint colour as shown in the below image:

That's it!
swift 4
Inside your UITabBarController
tabBar.barTintColor = .purple
tabBar.isTranslucent = false
You also have access to:
tabBar.tintColor = .green
tabBar.unselectedItemTintColor = .blue
to change icon colours if you want.
try this code
self.tabBarController.tabBar.barTintColor = [UIColor colorWithRed:0.376 green:0.729 blue:0.318 alpha:1.000];
swift 5
self.tabBarController.tabBar.backgroundColor = .white
Swift 4, in viewDidLoad of TabBarController
self.tabBar.tintColor = UIColor.white // tab bar icon tint color
self.tabBar.isTranslucent = false
UITabBar.appearance().barTintColor = UIColor.blue // tab bar background color
tabBar.isTranslucent = false
