Try this:

UITabBarController *tabBarC = [[UITabBarController alloc] init];

if ([[[UIDevice currentDevice] systemVersion] compare:@"5.0" options:NSNumericSearch] != NSOrderedAscending) {
    tabBarC.tabBar.selectedImageTintColor = [UIColor redColor];
}

Remember, only with iOS5+.

The UITabBar does not have a backgroundColor nor tintColor property. You can however use graphics to change the appearance of the UITabBar. Check out iDevRecipes tutorials on how to customize UITabBars.
