add subview to navigation bar with desired color as background colour like this:

UIView *view=[[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0,320, 20)];

view.backgroundColor=[UIColor blueColor];
[self.navigationController.navigationBar addSubview:view];

It works for me to change colour of status bar.
