setting the text color of UIBarButtonItem by appearance proxy

Here's what is being set and it's close to the color I need:

NSDictionary *barButtonItemTitleAttributesEnabled = @{
                                               NSFontAttributeName:[UIFont MRFontLightOfSize:17],
                                               NSForegroundColorAttributeName:[UIColor whiteColor]
                                               };
NSDictionary *barButtonItemTitleAttributesDisabled = @{
                                                      NSFontAttributeName:[UIFont MRFontLightOfSize:17],
                                                      NSForegroundColorAttributeName:[UIColor colorWithWhite:1.0f alpha:0.25f]
                                                      };

[[UIBarButtonItem appearance] setTitleTextAttributes:barButtonItemTitleAttributesEnabled forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[[UIBarButtonItem appearance] setTitleTextAttributes:barButtonItemTitleAttributesDisabled forState:UIControlStateDisabled];

But I'd prefer to somehow set the disabled text color to the same color as the selected state, is there a way to do that with the appearance proxy calls?

Also tried this:

NSDictionary *barButtonItemDisabled = [[UIBarButtonItem appearance] titleTextAttributesForState:UIControlStateSelected];
[[UIBarButtonItem appearance] setTitleTextAttributes:barButtonItemTitleAttributesEnabled forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[[UIBarButtonItem appearance] setTitleTextAttributes:barButtonItemDisabled forState:UIControlStateDisabled];

If you want to give different colours for different items then you should use

UIBarButtonItem *doneButton = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc]
                                   initWithTitle:@"Done" style:UIBarButtonItemStylePlain
                                   target:self action:@selector(done)];

[doneButton setTitleTextAttributes:[NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys: [UIColor whiteColor],  NSForegroundColorAttributeName,nil] forState:UIControlStateNormal];

Otherwise you should just simply write

[toolBar setTintColor:[UIColor whiteColor]];

resolved by removing TextTitleAttribute code above and setting the toolBar tintColor appearance proxy:

[[UIToolbar appearance] setTintColor:[UIColor whiteColor]];

this made it so that just enabling or disabling the buttons set them to the right color.
