Customizing the colors of a UISegmentedControl

Question

Does anybody know of a way to customize the appearance of the string based UISegmentedControl? I am trying to set the background color of the cell and the text color differe

Here is a sample code that works with iOS9, but it is a hack, and might not work in later versions:

UISegmentedControl *segmentedControl = [[UISegmentedControl alloc] initWithItems:@[@"Title1", @"Title2"]];
for (id segment in [segmentedControl subviews])
{
    for (id view in [segment subviews])
    {
        NSString *desc = [view description];
        if ([desc containsString:@"UISegmentLabel"])
        {
            [segment setTintColor:([desc containsString:@"Title1"] ? [UIColor blueColor] : [UIColor greenColor])];
        }
    }
}
