universal app ipad not showing colors

Question

Hey guys. So I converted an iphone app to a universal app, and when I try to change the background colors, e.g., view.backgroundColor = [UIColor blackColor];, it would change while running on the iphone. However, the ipad will only show gray. Does anyone else get this? Same thing for interface builder.

Thanks,

You may need to set the backgroundView to nil as I believe the iPad has a default gray gradient view which will override the background color.
