What you want to do is to have the cells at equal height so that all cells together fit exactly the height of the screen.

You cannot do that with auto layout. You have to tell the table view the height you'd like the rows to have like so:

override func viewWillLayoutSubviews() {
    super.viewWillLayoutSubviews()

    let heightOfVisibleTableViewArea = view.bounds.height - topLayoutGuide.length - bottomLayoutGuide.length
    let numberOfRows = tableView.numberOfRowsInSection(0)

    tableView.rowHeight = heightOfVisibleTableViewArea / CGFloat(numberOfRows)
}

Note that this code assumes that you don't implement the method tableView(_:heightForRowAtIndexPath:).

To fill the whole view, with a table view, I use four constraints:

One. tableView centre = view centre. Two. tableView width = view width. Three. tableView vertical distance to top layout guide = 0 Four. tableView vertical distance to bottom layout guide = 0.

To fill everything with the same color, I set the backgroundColor of the tableView, then set the backgroundColor of the cells to [UIColor clearColor].
