Code:

import UIKit
import Firebase
import FirebaseDatabase
import PINRemoteImage
class ViewController: UIViewController, UITableViewDelegate, UITableViewDataSource {

    var ref:FIRDatabaseReference!
    var data = [DataModel]()
        @IBOutlet weak var one: UIImageView!



    @IBOutlet weak var mytable: UITableView!


    override func viewDidLoad() {


        doSetup()

        self.view.backgroundColor = UIColor(red: 138/255, green: 56/255, blue: 48/255, alpha: 1.0)

        mytable.dataSource = self
        mytable.delegate = self

        super.viewDidLoad()

    }

    func doSetup(){


        ref = FIRDatabase.database().reference()
        //ref.child("Posts").childByAutoId().setValue(["post_text":" Nami ","imageUrl" : ""])
        ref.child("Posts").observe(.childAdded, with: { (snapshot) in

            let newData = snapshot.value as! [String:String]

            let post_text = newData["post_text"]
            let imageUrl = newData["imageUrl"]

            let converted = DataModel(post_text: post_text, imageUrl: imageUrl)

            self.data.append(converted)

            self.mytable.reloadData()

            self.one.pin_setImage(from: URL(string : "https://otaku-w9pxf76zfsktmx3e.stackpathdns.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Luffy.png"))


        })

    }




    func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {


        let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "cell") as! TableViewCell

        let nth_data = data[indexPath.row]
        cell.posttext.text = nth_data.post_text
        cell.posttext.textColor = .white
        cell.myimage.pin_setImage(from: URL(string: nth_data.imageUrl!))
        cell.backgroundColor = UIColor(red: 138/255, green: 56/255, blue: 48/255, alpha: 1.0)
        return (cell)
    }



    func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
        return data.count
    }


    func numberOfSections(in tableView: UITableView) -> Int {
        return 1
    }

}

If you want red background below all the subviews, place that inside your UIViewController's viewDidLoad function:

self.view.backgroundColor = UIColor.red

UPD

In this case you can either set myTable.backgroundColor to be red, or set self.view.backgroundColor to red having myTable and each of the cells' colors set to UIColor.clear

When you run your project, use this to debug view. Believe it or not, it's very useful. enter image description here
