Can you post your code? It will be easier so we can see exactly what's going on.

Its actually that the default color of my app background is set to yellow and same is the button but later when i click the button the background color of the app changes as if it is a variable(var) but the tint color of the button remains the same(Yellow) as if it is saved in a constant(let) thats what happens i have cross-checked the code theirs no problem in the code i think i am facing this problem because of the difference in version of Xcode so can anyone suggest me a way out......??????

Probably you accidently chose a Text Color from the Attributes Inspector panel. So no matter what your tint color is you always see the text color. To fix the problem, make sure your button's text color is set to default.

I was having this same issue. To fix it, inside viewDidLoad(), I put funFactButton.tintColor = view.backgroundColor and this solved it.
