To do this job in storyboard (Interface Builder Inspector)

With help of IBDesignable, we can add more options to Interface Builder Inspector for UINavigationController and tweak them on storyboard. First, add the following code to your project.

@IBDesignable extension UINavigationController {
    @IBInspectable var barTintColor: UIColor? {
        set {
            navigationBar.barTintColor = newValue
        }
        get {
            guard  let color = navigationBar.barTintColor else { return nil }
            return color
        }
    }

    @IBInspectable var tintColor: UIColor? {
        set {
            navigationBar.tintColor = newValue
        }
        get {
            guard  let color = navigationBar.tintColor else { return nil }
            return color
        }
    }

    @IBInspectable var titleColor: UIColor? {
        set {
            guard let color = newValue else { return }
            navigationBar.titleTextAttributes = [NSForegroundColorAttributeName: color]
        }
        get {
            return navigationBar.titleTextAttributes?["NSForegroundColorAttributeName"] as? UIColor
        }
    }
}

Then simply set the attributes for UINavigationController on storyboard.
