How can I get the iOS 7 default blue color programmatically

Question

I m creating custom elements in my app and want to match the look and feel of the new iOS  iOS 7 introduced to us a very common lighter blue color  the default color or tint for several elements  including the system button  segmented control  etc  They ve made it easy to select the color using IB  as seen here     However  I haven t found how to easily access the color programmatically  I checked out the UIColor documentation  and there doesn t seem to be any accessor for the blue system color in the class itself   Here s my question  does a simple accessor exist for this color   UIColor    or something like it  If not  does someone know the exact RGB values for that color

According to the documentation for UIButton      In iOS v7 0  all subclasses of UIView derive their behavior for tintColor from the base class  See the discussion of tintColor at the UIView level for more information    Assuming you don t change the tintColor before grabbing the default value  you can use   self view tintColor
