你只有一个选择把你的后退按钮藏起来，用你自己来做。 然后设置它的颜色。

我这样做了:

self.navigationItem.setHidesBackButton(true, animated: true)
let backbtn = UIBarButtonItem(title: "Back", style:UIBarButtonItemStyle.Plain, target: self, action: "backTapped:")
self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = backbtn
self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem?.tintColor = UIColor.grayColor()

Swift 5更新

如果你需要全局设置后退按钮颜色，你可以简单地使用:

UIBarButtonItem.appearance().tintColor = Asset.pureWhite.color

然后你不需要在每个视图控制器上设置后退按钮的背景色。如果你使用这个，你不能在其他视图控制器上设置返回按钮的颜色

BUT

如果您需要在视图控制器上设置后退按钮颜色或在另一个视图控制器上更改，请不要使用上述方法。你可以用:

let appearance = UINavigationBarAppearance()
appearance.titleTextAttributes = [.font:FontFamily.BatonTurbo.medium.font(size: 20),
                                  .foregroundColor: Asset.pureWhite.color] // Naviagtion Title attributes
appearance.backgroundColor = .red // Navigation bar background color

self.navigationItem.standardAppearance = appearance
self.navigationItem.scrollEdgeAppearance = appearance
self.navigationItem.compactAppearance = appearance

navigationController?.navigationBar.tintColor = .green // Back button color

我更喜欢自定义NavigationController而不是设置全局ui，或者放在ViewController中。

这是我的解决方案

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) {

  }

}

此外，如果你使用全局设置ui，如UIBarButtonItem.appearance()，你不需要像EKEventEditViewController,PickerViewController等苹果Api。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

在swift 2.0使用中

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

你应该这样使用:

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