Navigation Bar color - ios

I'm building an map app and have label with information of my route. I've set programmatically color of the label and navigation bar with the same hex. But while testing the app, I've noticed that they are different a bit. Can anybody tell me, what is wrong?
screenshot
Main color is in Util class; nav bar appearance is set in app didFinishLaunchingWithOptions method; label color is set in viewWillAppear of my map VC
public static let mainColor = UIColor(fromHexCode: "#335E40")
UINavigationBar.appearance().barTintColor = Util.mainColor
infoLabel.backgroundColor = Util.mainColor

Did you turn off the transition?
UINavigationBar.appearance().translucent = false

Visible UISearchBar changes UINavigationBar background color

A tableview controller is embedded into a navigation controller.
I programmatically added a search bar to the tableview controller's navigation bar. I only changed the navigation bar Background color into something different than Default (purple) - all the rest I left default.
class TableViewController: UITableViewController {
let searchController = UISearchController(searchResultsController: nil)
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
navigationItem.hidesSearchBarWhenScrolling = true
navigationItem.searchController = searchController
}
}
Code above is reduced to bare minimum for demonstration purpose.
All done with Xcode 11 (11A420a).
I ran the project in iOS 12.0 and 13.0 simulators and devices.
iOS 13.0
The search bar shows upon start.
Navigation bar background color is correctly presented.
While scrolling, navigation bar background color remains correct.
With iOS 13.0, all works as expected!
iOS 12.0
The search bar doesn't show upon start.
Navigation bar background color is correctly presented.
While scrolling, navigation bar background color goes white as soon search bar is visible.
I tried to change all kind of color setting in storyboard as well as properties programmatically. I didn't succeed in changing the navigation bar background color when search bar is visible.
It seems (?!) that the navigation bar foreground looses transparency when search bar becomes visible.
If I use a Bar Tint color of the navigation bar (!= Default), all works as expected (and as with iOS 13.0), but I loose the gradient effect, which I would like to keep.
What did I miss?
How can I avoid this?
Bug?
I had some luck with the navigationItem.scrollEdgeAppearance property when facing a similar problem. For example:
vc.navigationItem.scrollEdgeAppearance?.backgroundColor = .red
This is only available on iOS 13 though.
Here's what I ended up doing to get correct colors in the navigation bar while allowing the search controller's scroll bar to hide during scroll:
if #available(iOS 13.0, *) {
let blurEffect = UIBlurEffect(style: .systemUltraThinMaterial)
navbar.standardAppearance.backgroundEffect = blurEffect
navbar.standardAppearance.backgroundColor = appMainColor.withAlphaComponent(0.75)
navbar.standardAppearance.titleTextAttributes = [NSAttributedString.Key.foregroundColor : UIColor.white]
navbar.compactAppearance = nil
navbar.scrollEdgeAppearance = navbar.standardAppearance.copy()
navitem.standardAppearance = nil
navitem.compactAppearance = nil
navitem.scrollEdgeAppearance = nil
}
I don't know if it is the look you're going for but I found if you disable hideSearchBarWhenScrolling the background stops changing color. However, the search bar is always there.
Add this to viewDidLoad():
navigationItem.hidesSearchBarWhenScrolling = false

NavigationBar barTintColor showing different effect for same color

I am trying to set color to navigation bar for different controllers but same color showing different effect.
Add following line to your viewDidLoad:method of navigationController class,
self.navigationBar.translucent = NO;

How to change the color of a NavigationBar?

I am trying to change the color of the text "Welcome" in the Navigation Bar.
As you see now it is blue and I want to change it to white as the rest of the text in the Navigation Bar.
Would you give me any ideas? I tried to add some code and it is working, because the clock was black and now is white, like it should be, but the "Welcome" is still staying in blue.
Put this code in either your app delegate in the didFinishLaunchingWithOptions method, or in your navigationController's custom class
let customColor = UIColor.redColor()
UINavigationBar.appearance().titleTextAttributes = [NSForegroundColorAttributeName:customColor]
UINavigationBar.appearance().tintColor = customColor

View Controller Top Bar not editing

In my view controller, I have changed the color of the top bar in the simulated metrics, I have changed it to be 'Translucent Black navigation bar', but when I start up my app in the simulator my top bar is still white.
BarSimulated metrics only affect how the NavigationBar's overview is displayed in the Interface Builder. The actual NavigationBar is either part of your viewController's navigationController or a view you added manually.
With UINavigationcontroller:
self.navigationcontroller.navigation.translucent = false
With custom UINavigationBar:
self.myNavigationBar.translucent = false
Try setting the NavigationBar tint colour as following screenshot.
Simulated metrics exist just that you can see what it will look like on launch. It doesn't really affect your app.
If you want to change your navigationBar's color, you must do it programmatically:
SWIFT
// in ViewController
navigationController.navigationBar.barTintColor = UIColor.greenColor()
OBJ C
// in ViewController
self.navigationBar.barTintColor = [UIColor greenColor];

change navigation bar color of specific controller

I have set a color of my Navigation bar in Appdelegate so my app uses same color for all the navigation appearing in different screens. But Now for one or two controllers I want to change the navigation color. I used this code in viewDidLoad of specific controller but It isn't working
self.navigationController?.navigationBar.backgroundColor = UIColor.whiteColor()
I have tried this code in viewWillAppear function too but still it doesn't work
The property you are looking for is not backgroundColor, but rather barTintColor.
self.navigationController?.navigationBar.barTintColor = UIColor.whiteColor()
Please use tint color
[nav.navigationBar setBarTintColor:[UIColor blueColor]];
