UIPickerView to be same color as navigationBar

Question

I have an app with a UIPickerView that comes on screen when needed. I would like it to be the same color as the default navigationBar which is a little transparent, you can see through it but not enough to obscure what is on the navigationBar.

There may be a simple solution and if there is great! I'm new to the game.

Thanks in advance

@JKX You may want to add `UIVisualEffectView` thats blurs the views below it as the picker's background view. — Christian Schnorr, May 16 '15 at 13:54
Great! Ended up going with the UIVisualEffectView... worked exactly how I envisaged! Thank you — JKX, May 16 '15 at 17:17

So thanks to @ChristianSchorr I used UIVisualEffectView to achieve my goal

UIVisualEffectView *visualEffectView;
UIVisualEffect *blurEffect;
blurEffect = [UIBlurEffect effectWithStyle:UIBlurEffectStyleLight];
visualEffectView = [[UIVisualEffectView alloc] initWithEffect:blurEffect];
        [self.tableStations addSubview:visualEffectView];
        pickerSort.frame = CGRectMake(0,0,originalPickerFrame.size.width,originalPickerFrame.size.height);
        visualEffectView.frame = CGRectMake(0,0,originalPickerFrame.size.width,originalPickerFrame.size.height - 64);

Worked for I needed
