I have an app that sometimes needs its navigation bar to blend in with the content.

Does anyone know how to get rid of or to change color of this annoying little ba

Another option if you want to preserve translucency and you don't want to subclass every UINavigationController in your app:

#import 

@implementation UINavigationController (NoShadow)

+ (void)load {
    Method original = class_getInstanceMethod(self, @selector(viewWillAppear:));
    Method swizzled = class_getInstanceMethod(self, @selector(swizzled_viewWillAppear:));
    method_exchangeImplementations(original, swizzled);
}

+ (UIImageView *)findHairlineImageViewUnder:(UIView *)view {
    if ([view isKindOfClass:UIImageView.class] && view.bounds.size.height <= 1.0) {
        return (UIImageView *)view;
    }

    for (UIView *subview in view.subviews) {
        UIImageView *imageView = [self findHairlineImageViewUnder:subview];
        if (imageView) {
            return imageView;
        }
    }

    return nil;
}

- (void)swizzled_viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated {
    UIImageView *shadow = [UINavigationController findHairlineImageViewUnder:self.navigationBar];
    shadow.hidden = YES;

    [self swizzled_viewWillAppear:animated];
}
