# selectionIndicatorTintColor

The tint color to apply to the selection indicator image.

## Declaration

```swift
@NSCopying var selectionIndicatorTintColor: UIColor? { get set }
```

## Discussion

Discussion UIKit combines the color in this property with the image in the selectionIndicatorImage to create the final appearance for the selected item. If you supplied a template image in selectionIndicatorImage, UIKit uses this color to tint that image. If selectionIndicatorImage is nil, UIKit provides a default selection indicator image that accepts your tint color. If this property is nil or contains a clear color, UIKit doesn’t display a selection indicator. If the image you supplied in selectionIndicatorImage isn’t a template image, UIKit ignores the value in this property and displays your image as is. The default value of this property is nil.
