From this discussion

Here's the UILabel info for tableView headers on iOS 6:

Plain
fontName: Helvetica-Bold
pointSize: 18.000000
textColor: UIDeviceWhiteColorSpace 1 1
shadowColor: UIDeviceWhiteColorSpace 0 0.44
shadowOffset: CGSize 0 1


Grouped
fontName: Helvetica-Bold
pointSize: 17.000000
textColor: UIDeviceRGBColorSpace 0.298039 0.337255 0.423529 1
shadowColor: UIDeviceWhiteColorSpace 1 1
shadowOffset: CGSize 0 1

As for the background of the plain style header, that's a UIImage, not simply a backgroundColor. Notice the subtle vertical gradient.

hope it helps
