How to make UIBarButton not greyed out when disabled?

I have a UIBarButton saveBarButton to save an image of the screen to the camera roll. When the user presses the saveBarButton the image is saved and the UIBarButton saveBarButton changes to the UIImage doneIconfor 1.2 seconds to indicate to the user that the image has been saved. When the saveBarButton displays the doneIcon I disable saveBarButton. However, when I do that the saveBarButton is greyed out.

My question is: how do I stop the UIBarButton from greying out when disabled?

My code:

//create UIBarButton saveBarButton
override func viewDidLoad() {    
    let saveBarButton = UIBarButtonItem(image: UIImage(named: "saveIcon"), style: .Plain, target: self, action: "save:")
    saveBarButton.tintColor = colorGreyDark
}

//save function called when press saveBarButton
func save(sender: UIBarButtonItem) {
    //save image
    deselectShape()
    let window: UIWindow! = UIApplication.sharedApplication().keyWindow
    let windowImage = capture(window)
    UIImageWriteToSavedPhotosAlbum(windowImage
        , nil, nil, nil)

    //Change saveBarButton to indicate to user that image was saved 
    sender.image = UIImage(named: "doneIcon")
    sender.enabled = false //disable saveBarButton
    self.performSelector("canSaveAgain:", withObject: sender, afterDelay: 1.2)
}

//Change saveBarButton to original icon to indicate to user that can save another image
func canSaveAgain(sender: UIBarButtonItem){
    sender.image = UIImage(named: "saveIcon")
    sender.enabled = true //enable saveBarButton
}

To see what I'm talking about.

One of ways is to create UIBarButtonItem with customView and use userInteractionEnabled instead enabled.

let saveBarButton = UIBarButtonItem(customView: saveButton)
saveBarButton.customView?.userInteractionEnabled = false
