Thanks. I read it. But it's actually about how to change label color, but I need to change background color. I can get the UIButton object from the UINavigatorBar, but what the next step?

Sorry about that, I understand what you mean now.http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1340639/button-color-in-navigation-bar-iphoneThis might point you in the right direction, as well as the follow up comment here:http://www.gauravv.com/2009/12/29/iphone-development-tip-custom-uinavigationbar/It looks like you will have to use an image for the button, or subclass existing UI elements. Changing the tint color property of the navigationbar changed both the bar and button color, not the individual elements.

Answer 2

A:

This is a terrible hack but, when placed in -viewDidAppear: method(s), it will change the background color (tint, actually) of UINavigationButtons.

UINavigationBar *navBar = [[self navigationController] navigationBar];
for (UIView *subview in [navBar subviews])
    {
    if ([NSStringFromClass([subview class]) isEqualToString:@"UINavigationButton"])
        {
        if (![[subview title] isEqualToString:@"Done"])
            [subview setTintColor:[UIColor colorWithRed:255.0/255.0 green:0.0/255.0 blue:0.0/255.0 alpha:1.0]];
        }
    }

It will not however change tint for UINavigationItemButtonViews - and this is what is used for the navigation back buttons. If someone finds a way to affect them, please let me know.
