Tint color of funFactButton does not change.

I have a problem where the color of the UIButton does not change. I already used a println(funFactButton.tintColor) and the color is changing but it is not displayed.

What I tried: I changed the color of the UIButton in the attributes inspector to default and now the color changes to match the background (as expected) except at the beginning of the program since it shows as blue (default color). I think the Attribute Inspector is somehow overriding the change color or maybe I changed an option in there that does not let me change the color unless I have it default.

I tried using other color instead of default like dark color and the UIbutton will stay dark.

The problem with this solution: The first time the UIButton is displayed has a blue tint(default).

Anyone have an Idea of why this is happening?

Hello Rogelio.

I am not sure what the issue could be here.

Can we have a look at your code please?

I just figured out. It wasn't a code problem I was changing the color of the "UI button" (in the attribute inspector, manually) instead of the tint in the view (in the attribute inspector). As soon as I changed the color of the view to the kinda blue-greenish, the default color of the UI button became that same color. This did the trick.
