Navigation bar background color - translucency is no

Question

I would like to change the background color of the navigation bar to a solid green.

Rule: I can't mess with the AppDelegate :)

I've tried:

//It's green but it's translucent 
[self.navigationController.navigationBar setBackgroundColor:[UIColor colorWithRed:77/255.0 green:255/255.0 blue:100/255.0 alpha:1.0f]];

//It's white, first line has no effect
[self.navigationController.navigationBar setBackgroundColor:[UIColor colorWithRed:77/255.0 green:255/255.0 blue:100/255.0 alpha:1.0f]];
[self.navigationController.navigationBar setTranslucent:NO];

//Same result as case 1
[self.navigationController.navigationBar setAlpha:0.0f];
[self.navigationController.navigationBar setBackgroundColor:[UIColor colorWithRed:77/255.0 green:255/255.0 blue:100/255.0 alpha:1.0f]];

//Too dark
[self.navigationController.navigationBar setBarStyle:UIBarStyleBlackTranslucent];
[self.navigationController.navigationBar setBackgroundColor:[UIColor colorWithRed:77/255.0 green:255/255.0 blue:100/255.0 alpha:1.0f]];

//Only affects the back button's color:
[self.navigationController.navigationBar setTintColor:[UIColor greenColor]];

So any ideas?

Thank you, didn't see there was barTintColor and TintColor as well. Accepting earliest answer.

Use this line of code in your viewController didLoad method

self.navigationController.navigationBar.barTintColor = [UIColor colorWithRed:29.0f/255.0f green:149.0f/255.0f blue:174.0f/255.0f alpha:1.0f]
