appearance()函数并不总是适用于我。所以我更喜欢创建一个NC对象并改变它的属性。

var navBarColor = navigationController!.navigationBar
navBarColor.barTintColor =
    UIColor(red:  255/255.0, green: 0/255.0, blue: 0/255.0, alpha: 100.0/100.0)
navBarColor.titleTextAttributes =
    [NSForegroundColorAttributeName: UIColor.whiteColor()]

此外，如果你想添加一个图像而不仅仅是文本，这也是可行的

var imageView = UIImageView(frame: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: 70, height: 70))
imageView.contentMode = .ScaleAspectFit

var image = UIImage(named: "logo")
imageView.image = image
navigationItem.titleView = imageView

更新为Swift 3, 4, 4.2, 5+

// setup navBar.....
UINavigationBar.appearance().barTintColor = .black
UINavigationBar.appearance().tintColor = .white
UINavigationBar.appearance().titleTextAttributes = [NSForegroundColorAttributeName: UIColor.white]
UINavigationBar.appearance().isTranslucent = false

斯威夫特4

UINavigationBar.appearance().barTintColor = .black
UINavigationBar.appearance().tintColor = .white
UINavigationBar.appearance().titleTextAttributes = [NSAttributedStringKey.foregroundColor: UIColor.white]
UINavigationBar.appearance().isTranslucent = false

Swift 4.2, 5+

UINavigationBar.appearance().barTintColor = .black
UINavigationBar.appearance().tintColor = .white
UINavigationBar.appearance().titleTextAttributes = [NSAttributedString.Key.foregroundColor: UIColor.white]
UINavigationBar.appearance().isTranslucent = false

如果你想使用大标题，添加这一行:

UINavigationBar.navigationBar.prefersLargeTitles = true

也可以查看这里:https://github.com/hasnine/iOSUtilitiesSource

确保将按钮状态设置为.normal

extension UINavigationBar {

    func makeContent(color: UIColor) {
        let attributes: [NSAttributedString.Key: Any]? = [.foregroundColor: color]

        self.titleTextAttributes = attributes
        self.topItem?.leftBarButtonItem?.setTitleTextAttributes(attributes, for: .normal)
        self.topItem?.rightBarButtonItem?.setTitleTextAttributes(attributes, for: .normal)
    }
}

ps iOS 12, Xcode 10.1

iOS 10 Swift 3.0

如果你不介意使用swift框架，那么我们UINeraida将导航背景更改为UIColor或HexColor或UIImage，并以编程方式更改导航后退按钮文本，更改完整的前景文本颜色。

对于UINavigationBar

    neraida.navigation.background.color.hexColor("54ad00", isTranslucent: false, viewController: self)
    
    //Change navigation title, backbutton colour
    
    neraida.navigation.foreground.color.uiColor(UIColor.white, viewController: self)
    
    //Change navigation back button title programmatically
    
    neraida.navigation.foreground.backButtonTitle("Custom Title", ViewController: self)
    
    //Apply Background Image to the UINavigationBar
    
    neraida.navigation.background.image("background", edge: (0,0,0,0), barMetrics: .default, isTranslucent: false, viewController: self)

使用外观API和barTintColor颜色。

UINavigationBar.appearance().barTintColor = UIColor.greenColor()

如果你使用iOS 13或14和大标题，并想改变导航栏的颜色，使用以下代码:

参考barTintColor不适用时导航栏是大标题

    fileprivate func setNavigtionBarItems() {
        if #available(iOS 13.0, *) {
            let appearance = UINavigationBarAppearance()
            appearance.configureWithDefaultBackground()
            appearance.backgroundColor = .brown
//            let naviFont = UIFont(name: "Chalkduster", size: 30) ?? .systemFont(ofSize: 30)
//            appearance.titleTextAttributes = [NSAttributedString.Key.font: naviFont]
            
            navigationController?.navigationBar.prefersLargeTitles = true
            navigationController?.navigationBar.standardAppearance = appearance
            navigationController?.navigationBar.scrollEdgeAppearance = appearance
            //navigationController?.navigationBar.compactAppearance = appearance
        } else {
            // Fallback on earlier versions
            navigationController?.navigationBar.barTintColor = .brown
        }
    }

这花了我1个小时来找出我的代码中的错误:(，因为我使用大标题，很难用largeTitle改变tintColor，为什么苹果让它这么复杂，这么多行只是做一个tintColor的navigationBar。
