Change tab bar item selected color in a storyboard

I want to change my tab bar items to be pink when selected instead of the default blue.

How can i accomplish this using the storyboard editor in Xcode 6?

Here are my current setting which are not working, the blue background works but the pink doesnt work:

Solution 1:

Add Runtime Color attribute named "tintColor" from StoryBoard. This is working(for Xcode 8 and above).

if you want unselected color.. you can add unselectedItemTintColor too.

Solution 2:

This elegant solution works great on SWIFT 3.0, SWIFT 4.2 and SWIFT 5.1:

On the Storyboard:

1. Select your Tab Bar
2. Set a Runtime Attibute called tintColor for the desired color of the Selected Icon on the tab bar
3. Set a Runtime Attibute called unselectedItemTintColor for the desired color of the Unselected Icon on the tab bar

Edit: Working with Xcode 8/10, for iOS 10/12 and above.
