iOS 7 UIRefreshControl tintColor not working for beginRefreshing

Question

I\'m trying to set a tintColor on my UIRefreshControl (building on iOS 7). I enabled refreshing for the tableViewController in storyboard, then in my ViewController vi

@william-george's answer set me in the right direction, but was giving me weird autolayout animation issues.

So here's the version that worked for me:

- (void)programaticallyRefresh {
    // Hack necessary to keep UIRefreshControl's tintColor
    [self.scrollView setContentOffset:CGPointMake(0, -1.0f) animated:NO];
    [self.scrollView setContentOffset:CGPointMake(0, -self.refreshControl.frame.size.height) animated:YES];
    [self.refreshControl beginRefreshing];
    [self refresh];
}

-refresh is the method tied to the UIRefreshControl.
