This extension gives you native system blue color.

extension UIColor {

    static var systemBlue: UIColor {
        return UIButton(type: .system).tintColor
    }

}

UPDATE

Please forget what I wrote above, just figured out - there're native extension with predefined system colors we've been looking for, including system blue:

// System colors

extension UIColor {


    /* Some colors that are used by system elements and applications.
     * These return named colors whose values may vary between different contexts and releases.
     * Do not make assumptions about the color spaces or actual colors used.
     */

    ... 

    @available(iOS 7.0, *)
    open class var systemBlue: UIColor { get }
    ... 
}

You can use it directly:

myView.tintColor = .systemBlue
