如果你试了很多次都没有成功，你可以试试:

UIBarButtonItem.appearance(whenContainedInInstancesOf: [UINavigationBar.self]).tintColor = .red

其实，我试了很多次，才发现这种方法行得通。

你应该这样使用:

navigationController?.navigationBar.barTintColor = .purple
navigationController?.navigationBar.tintColor = .white

    self.navigationController?.navigationBar.tintColor = UIColor.black // to change the all text color in navigation bar or navigation 
    self.navigationController?.navigationBar.barTintColor = UIColor.white // change the navigation background color
    self.navigationController?.navigationBar.titleTextAttributes = [NSForegroundColorAttributeName:UIColor.black] // To change only navigation bar title text color

你可以用这个。把它放在AppDelegate.swift中。

func application(application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [NSObject: AnyObject]?) -> Bool {
        // Override point for customization after application launch.

        UINavigationBar.appearance().translucent = false
        UINavigationBar.appearance().barTintColor = UIColor(rgba: "#2c8eb5")
        UINavigationBar.appearance().tintColor = UIColor.whiteColor()
        UINavigationBar.appearance().titleTextAttributes = [NSForegroundColorAttributeName:UIColor.whiteColor()]

        return true
    }

在swift 2.0使用中

self.navigationController!.navigationBar.tintColor = UIColor.whiteColor();

斯威夫特5.3:

UINavigationBar.appearance().backIndicatorImage = UIImage(named: "custom-back-image")
UINavigationBar.appearance().backIndicatorTransitionMaskImage = UIImage(named: "custom-back-image")
