Answer 1

you can set the tableView cell property

cell.selectionStyle = UITableViewCellSelectionStyleGray; 

Answer 2

To get whatever color you want, you have to replace the selectedBackgroundView with your own UIView.

- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)table cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
    static NSString *CellIdentifier = @"CellID";
    UITableViewCell *cell = [table dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
    if (!cell) {
        cell = [[[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier] autorelease];
        UIView *selectedBackground = [[[UIView alloc] init] autorelease];
        selectedBackground.backgroundColor = [UIColor magentaColor];
        cell.selectedBackgroundView = selectedBackground;
    }
    // configure cell
    return cell;
}

Answer 3

Make your own subclass of UITableViewCell. Overwrite the method -(void)setSelected:(BOOL)selected

Something like this:

- (void)setSelected:(BOOL)selected {
       [super setSelected:selected];
       if (selected) {
             self.backgroundColor = [UIColor greenColor];
       } else {
             self.backgroundColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
       }
}
