Answer 1

Instead of [UINavigationBar appearance] you can use [UINavigationBar appearanceWhenContainedIn:...] to be more specific about which UINavigationBars are changed based on their context.
For example you could create a subclass of UINavigationController called MyNavigationController (no need to add any behaviour) then do:
[[UINavigationBar appearanceWhenContainedIn:[MyNavigationController class], nil] setTintColor:[UIColor blackColor]];
Only UINavigationBars that live within your subclass will have their appearance changed.
I've used this idea in an iPad app where I wanted UINavigationBars that appeared within modal FormSheets to look different to other UINavigationBars within the app for example.

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
self.window = [[[UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds]] autorelease];
if(isiPhone5)
{
self.LoadinFirst = [[LoadingFirstViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"LoadingFirstView-iPhone5" bundle:nil];
}
else {
self.LoadinFirst = [[LoadingFirstViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"LoadingFirstView" bundle:nil];
}
UINavigationController *navigationController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:self.LoadinFirst];
[navigationController.navigationBar setBarStyle:UIBarStyleBlack];
[navigationController.navigationBar setTintColor:[UIColor colorWithRed:192/255.00f green:182/255.00f blue:184/255.00f alpha:1.0f]];
self.window.rootViewController =navigationController;
[self.window makeKeyAndVisible];
return YES;
}

If you want to put an image in the navigation bar with the color you want you can use
if ([self.navigationController.navigationBar respondsToSelector:#selector(setBackgroundImage:forBarMetrics:)] )
{
UIImage *image = [UIImage imageNamed:#"titlebg.png"] ;
[self.navigationController.navigationBar setBackgroundImage:image forBarMetrics:UIBarMetricsDefault];
}
else you can easilt set the tint by using
[navigationController.navigationBar setTintColor:[UIColor colorWithRed:102/255.00f green:182/255.00f blue:114/255.00f alpha:1.0f]];
hope this helps.

To change the over all navigation bar color you can use the method
[[UINavigationBar appearance] setBackgroundColor:[UIColor blueColor]];
To change the overall font and such you can use something like :
-(void) changeNavigationBarStyle{
[[UINavigationBar appearance] setTitleTextAttributes:
[NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:
[UIColor colorWithRed:255.0/255.0 green:255.0/255.0 blue:255.0/255.0 alpha:1.0],
UITextAttributeTextColor,
[UIColor colorWithRed:0.0f green:0.0f blue:0.0f alpha:0.8f],
UITextAttributeTextShadowColor,
[NSValue valueWithUIOffset:UIOffsetMake(0, -1)],
UITextAttributeTextShadowOffset,
[UIFont fontWithName:#"ChalkboardSE-Bold" size:0.0],
UITextAttributeFont,
nil]];
NSMutableDictionary *attributes = [NSMutableDictionary dictionaryWithDictionary: [[UIBarButtonItem appearance] titleTextAttributesForState:UIControlStateNormal]];
[attributes setValue:[UIFont fontWithName:#"ChalkboardSE-Bold" size:0.0f] forKey:UITextAttributeFont];
[[UIBarButtonItem appearance] setTitleTextAttributes:attributes forState:UIControlStateNormal];
}
EDIT DUE TO COMMENTS
To change the color (blue in this example) of all UINavigationBars in the application you can call
[[UINavigationBar appearance] setBackgroundColor:[UIColor blueColor]];
To change the color of one UINavigationBar you can call
self.navigationController.navigationBar.tintColor = [UIColor blueColor];
There is no middle ground where you can say "Change all UINavigationBar's color except ..."
