By adding a custom view with the background color of your own you can have a custom selection style in table view   let customBGColorView   UIView   customBGColorView backgroundColor   UIColor hexString    FFF900   cellObj selectedBackgroundView   customBGColorView   Add this 3 line code in cellForRowAt method of TableView  I have used an extension in UIColor to add color with hexcode  Put this extension code at the end of any Class Outside the class s body    extension UIColor       convenience init hexString  String        let hex   hexString trimmingCharacters in  CharacterSet alphanumerics inverted      var int   UInt32       Scanner string  hex  scanHexInt32  amp int      let a  r  g  b  UInt32     switch hex characters count       case 3     RGB  12-bit           a  r  g  b     255   int  gt  gt  8    17   int  gt  gt  4  amp  0xF    17   int  amp  0xF    17      case 6     RGB  24-bit           a  r  g  b     255  int  gt  gt  16  int  gt  gt  8  amp  0xFF  int  amp  0xFF      case 8     ARGB  32-bit           a  r  g  b     int  gt  gt  24  int  gt  gt  16  amp  0xFF  int  gt  gt  8  amp  0xFF  int  amp  0xFF      default           a  r  g  b     255  0  0  0            self init red  CGFloat r    255  green  CGFloat g    255  blue  CGFloat b    255  alpha  CGFloat a    255

You can also set cell s selectionStyle to none in interface builder  The same solution as  AhmedLotfy provided  only from IB

The problem with Kersnowski s approach is that when the cell is redrawn the changes made when it s selected deselected will be gone  So I would move the changes into the cell itself  which means subclassing is required here  For example   class ICComplaintCategoryCell  UITableViewCell        IBOutlet var label title  UILabel       IBOutlet var label checkmark  UILabel       override func layoutSubviews             super layoutSubviews           reload             func reload             if isSelected               contentView backgroundColor   UIColor red                   else if isHighlighted              contentView backgroundColor   UIColor red                   else               contentView backgroundColor   UIColor white                     And in your table view delegate just call reload   if let cell   self table cellForRowAtIndexPath path  as  ICComplaintCategoryCell       cell reload       Updated for Swift 3   thanks  Bogy

For Swift 3 4 and 5 you can do this in two ways   1  class  UITableViewCell  override func awakeFromNib         super awakeFromNib         Costumize cell      selectionStyle    none     or  2  tableView cellForRowAt      cell selectionStyle    none   If you want to set selection color for specific cell  check this answer  https   stackoverflow com a 56166325 7987502

You can use standard UITableViewDelegate methods   -  nullable NSIndexPath   tableView  UITableView   tableView willSelectRowAtIndexPath  NSIndexPath   indexPath       EntityTableViewCell  cell    tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath indexPath        cell selectMe       return indexPath     -  nullable NSIndexPath   tableView  UITableView   tableView willDeselectRowAtIndexPath  NSIndexPath   indexPath       EntityTableViewCell  cell    tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath indexPath        cell deSelectMe       return indexPath      in my situation this works  cause we need to select cell  change color  and when user taps 2 times on the selected cell further navigation should be performed

All the above answers are fine but a bit to complex to my liking  The simplest way to do it is to put some code in the cellForRowAtIndexPath  That way you never have to worry about changing the color when the cell is deselected   override func tableView tableView  UITableView  cellForRowAtIndexPath indexPath  NSIndexPath  - gt  UITableViewCell       let cell   tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier  cell   forIndexPath  indexPath          this is where the magic happens  create a UIView and set its        backgroundColor to what ever color you like then set the cell s        selectedBackgroundView to your created View         let backgroundView   UIView       backgroundView backgroundColor   YOUR COLOR HERE     cell selectedBackgroundView   backgroundView     return cell
