# tintColor

The tint color to apply to the button item.

## Declaration

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

## Discussion

Discussion In iOS 7 and later, all subclasses of UIView derive their behavior for tintColor from the base class. Although UIBarButtonItem isn’t a view, its tintColor property behaves the same as that of UIView. See the discussion of tintColor in UIView for more information.
