I had a similar requirement and did not want to include additional files in my app bundle so I wrote a two classes which generate button images from RGBA values and add them to UIButton.

Class to create button with button images:

If you add the above four files to your project, you should be able to create UIButton with colored backgrounds using the following methods:

UIButton * deleteButton = [BKButton redButton];
UIButton * selectButton = [BKButton lightGrayButton];
UIButton * customButton = [BKButton buttonWithRed:0.0 green:0.4 blue:0.37 alpha:1.0];
