This code changes the arrow color   self navigationController navigationBar tintColor   UIColor whiteColor      If this does not work  use the code below   self navigationBar barStyle   UIBarStyle Black self navigationBar tintColor   UIColor whiteColor     Swift 3 Notes  UIColor whiteColor   and similar have been simplified to UIColor white  Also  many previously implicit optionals have been changed to explicit  so you might need   self navigationController  navigationBar

All the answers setting UINavigationBar appearance   tintColor conflict with Apple s documentation in UIAppearance h      Note for iOS7  On iOS7 the tintColor property has moved to UIView  and now has special inherited behavior described in UIView h    This inherited behavior can conflict with the appearance proxy  and therefore tintColor is now disallowed with the appearance proxy    In Xcode  you need to command-click on each property you want to use with appearance proxy to inspect the header file and make sure the property is annotated with UI APPEARANCE SELECTOR   So the correct way to color the navigation bar purple and the title and buttons white throughout the app via the appearance proxy is   UINavigationBar appearance   isTranslucent   false UINavigationBar appearance   barTintColor    purple UINavigationBar appearance   titleTextAttributes    NSAttributedStringKey foregroundColor  UIColor white  UIBarButtonItem appearance   tintColor    white   Note that UIBarButtonItem is not a subclass of UIView but rather NSObject  So its tintColor property is not the inherited tintColor from UIView    Unfortunately  UIBarButtonItem tintColor is not annotated with UI APPEARANCE SELECTOR     but that seems to me a documentation bug  The response from Apple Engineering in this radar states it is supported

I prefer custom NavigationController rather than setting global ui  or put in ViewController   Here is my solution   class AppNavigationController   UINavigationController      override func viewDidLoad         super viewDidLoad       self delegate   self        override func viewWillAppear   animated  Bool            extension AppNavigationController   UINavigationControllerDelegate      func navigationController   navigationController  UINavigationController  willShow viewController  UIViewController  animated  Bool        let backButtonItem   UIBarButtonItem        title               style  UIBarButtonItem Style plain        target  nil        action  nil      backButtonItem tintColor   UIColor gray     viewController navigationItem backBarButtonItem   backButtonItem        func navigationController   navigationController  UINavigationController  didShow viewController  UIViewController  animated  Bool               Also you don t need to mess with Apple Api like EKEventEditViewController PickerViewController and so on if you use global settings ui like UIBarButtonItem appearance   tintColor    white

Not sure why nobody has mentioned this   but I was doing exactly what you were doing in my viewDidLoad   and it wasn t working  Then I placed my code into viewWillAppear and it all worked   The above solution is to change a single barbuttonItem  If you want to change the color for every navigationBar in your code then  follow this answer   Basically changing onto the class itself using appearance   is like making a global change on all instances of that view in your app  For more see here
