As nicktmro noted, you have to customize everything.

Check this previous answer: Changing Tint / Background color of UITabBar (check a couple of answers on this one, a later answer fixes problems with the accepted answer)

You will have to create your own "tab bar" controller. Unfortunately the "blue" color you are talking about is actually just an alpha level, not a shade of blue.
