Are you trying to set the tint of the buttons or of the navigation bar. — Abizern, Sep 25 '13 at 14:08
"some times" is a vague term. You should explain it properly. — Bhavin, Sep 25 '13 at 14:10

Check Apple document , you got info

Default navigationBar in iOS7 is translucent and its background control by barTinColor

So to make your navigationBar black like iOS6, you can do

[self.navigationController.navigationBar setTranslucent:NO];

[self.navigationController.navigationBar setBarTintColor:[UIColor blackColor]];

Or

[self.navigationController.navigationBar setBarStyle:UIBarStyleBlackOpaque];

[self.navigationController.navigationBar setBarStyle:UIBarStyleBlackOpaque]; This works fine for set color but, back button & navigation bar button items are not visable they are in their default color black – user2732294 Sep 25 '13 at 14:43
Maybe you setTinColor to black ? TinColor now use for BarItem in iOS7, just delete setTinColor in your code or set it to different color – LE SANG Sep 25 '13 at 14:48

In iOS7:

[self.navigationController.navigationBar setBarTintColor:[UIColor blackColor]];

This works for me, but makes the time and the battery black so you can't see it anymore. Why? – TheJeff Aug 29 '16 at 23:46
That's because you need to set he status bar style to light content. Set the style of the navigation bar to black, and it will happen automatically. – Léo Natan Sep 01 '16 at 15:26
