Navigation (and status) bar colors different than programmed (alpha automatically set to 0.85)

The objective

I'm trying to color my navigation bar grey (RGB 33, 33, 33). The problem is, I always get a much lighter color when I use the color :

UIColor(red: 33/256, green: 33/256, blue: 33/256, alpha: 1)

The problem

So I've had to darken the color to RGB 8,8,8 for this to work (Verified using the digital color meter: getting the (33,33,33) grey I want).

The code

The code I'm using to do this is copie below:

    //  NAV BAR
    let navigationBarAppearace =  UINavigationBar.appearance()
    navigationBarAppearace.tintColor = UIColor.white
    navigationBarAppearace.barTintColor = UIColor(red: 0.03, green: 0.03, blue:0.03, alpha: 1)
    navigationBarAppearace.titleTextAttributes = [NSForegroundColorAttributeName: UIColor.white]
    
    //  STATUS BAR APPEARANCE
    UIApplication.shared.statusBarStyle = UIStatusBarStyle.lightContent

What I've found

I've investigated using the Xcode debug view hierarchy, right clicking on the nav-bar and pressing 'print description'

enter image description here

to get this :

<_UIVisualEffectSubview: 0x15422d1c0; frame = (0 0; 375 64); alpha = 0.85; autoresize = W+H; userInteractionEnabled = NO; layer = <CALayer: 0x1d4224c60>>

Meaning the alpha is already set to 0.85 (even though i never explicitly set it to that value), whether in Interface builder or anywhere in code.

If I want to color any other view with the same color as the navigation bar, I use :

UIColor(red: 0.03, green: 0.03, blue: 0.03, alpha: 0.85) equivalent to UIColor(red: 8/256, green: 8/256, blue: 8/256, alpha: 0.85)

(same RGB with an alpha of 0.85)

The question

How can I remove the 0.85 alpha on the navigation bar to use the same color values throughout my app ?

Just write the following code

navigationController.navigationBar.isTranslucent = false
