How can I get the iOS 7 default blue color programmatically?

Question

I\'m creating custom elements in my app and want to match the look and feel of the new iOS. iOS 7 introduced to us a very common lighter blue color, the default color or tin

Answer 1

The UIWindow.tintColor method wasn't working for me in iOS8 (it was still black), so I had to do this:

let b = UIButton.buttonWithType(UIButtonType.System) as UIButton
var color = b.titleColorForState(.Normal)

This gave the proper blue tint seen in a UIBarButtonItem
