Navbar colour doesn't look right

Question

I've set my navbar to white or atleast tried to. However, it hasn't come out looking very white it seems.

Here's the bit of code where I set it.

    - (void)viewDidLoad {
        [super viewDidLoad];
        [self addSidebarNavButton];

        // Set the navbar
        [self setEdgesForExtendedLayout:UIRectEdgeNone];
        UILabel *nav_titlelbl=[[UILabel alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, self.navigationItem.titleView.frame.size.width,40)];
        nav_titlelbl.text=@"";
        nav_titlelbl.textAlignment=NSTextAlignmentCenter;
        UIFont *lblfont=[UIFont fontWithName:@"Futura-Medium" size:20];
        [nav_titlelbl setFont:lblfont];
        self.navigationItem.titleView=nav_titlelbl;

        // Set the navbar colour
        self.navigationController.navigationBar.barTintColor =
        [UIColor colorWithRed:255.0/255.0f green:255.0/255.0f blue:255.0/255.0f alpha:1.0];
        self.navigationController.navigationBar.translucent = YES;

Unfortunately I can't attach the navbar image here as I don't have the 10 reputation points needed. However if I could, you'd see that the navbar in question comes out looking light gray!

Answer 1

Set self.navigationController.navigationBar.translucent = NO; you might be seeing the view background.
