navigationBar.barTintColor always black and not possible to change it

The navigationBar.barTintColor in my app is always black, and there is no way I can change it. I checked all classes and I never set it to black, but I do set it to UIColor clearColor. Still, the bar is black. Any suggestions?

Edit:
I found out that the problem is with my [UIColor clearColor], when I change it to any other color it changes the color like it should, but clearColor makes it appear black.

If its IOS7 try the code below

[[UINavigationBar appearance]setBarTintColor: [<Specify the UIColor you want>];

In IOS6 try this

[[UINavigationBar appearance] setTintColor: [<Specify the UIColor you want>];

Edit:

I think you have given

self.navigationController.navigationBar.barTintColor = [UIColor clearColor];

This will give black color. If you want any specific tint color, it must be specifed after clearing 

self.navigationController.navigationBar.barTintColor = [UIColor clearColor];
self.navigationController.navigationBar.barTintColor = [UIColor <specify your color>];

Have a look there

enter image description here

Try modifying the Style and Translucent attributes on the navigation bar (top right in image).

If you are having problems modifying the status bar color, try adding this to your .plist (line below).

enter image description here

<key>UIViewControllerBasedStatusBarAppearance</key>
<false/>

Finally, here's some code you may want.

// Status bar color
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarStyle:yourStyle];

// Navigation bars color
[UINavigationBar appearance].barStyle = yourStyle;
[UINavigationBar appearance].barTintColor = [UIColor yourColor];

// Navigation bars items color
[UINavigationBar appearance].tintColor = [UIColor yourColor];
