Can't change UINavigationBar prompt color

Question

I am unable to change the prompt color on my navigation bar. I\'ve tried the code below in viewDidLoad, but nothing happens.

self.navigationCont

Moshe's first answer didn't work for me because it changed the labels inside of system VCs like mail and text compose VCs. I could change the background of those nav bars but that opens up a whole other can of worms. I didn't want to go the private class route so I only changed UILabels contained inside of my custom navigation bar subclass.

UILabel.appearance(whenContainedInInstancesOf: [NavigationBar.self]).textColor = UIColor.white
