# preferredControlTintColor

The color to tint the control buttons on the navigation bar and the toolbar.

## Declaration

```swift
var preferredControlTintColor: UIColor? { get set }
```

## Discussion

Discussion This color preference is ignored if the view controller is in Private Browsing mode or displaying an antiphishing warning. After the view controller is presented, changes made are not reflected. Use preferredControlTintColor instead of setting the view’s tintColor property.
