change navigation bar color of specific controller

Question

I have set a color of my Navigation bar in Appdelegate so my app uses same color for all the navigation appearing in different screens. But Now for one or two controllers I want to change the navigation color. I used this code in viewDidLoad of specific controller but It isn't working

self.navigationController?.navigationBar.backgroundColor = UIColor.whiteColor()

I have tried this code in viewWillAppear function too but still it doesn't work

The property you are looking for is not backgroundColor, but rather barTintColor.

self.navigationController?.navigationBar.barTintColor = UIColor.whiteColor()
