you can add the following code snippet to your viewDidLoad:

UITabBar.appearance().barTintColor = UIColor.black // your color

UITabBarItem.appearance().setTitleTextAttributes([NSAttributedStringKey.foregroundColor : UIColor.white], for: .normal)
UITabBarItem.appearance().setTitleTextAttributes([NSAttributedStringKey.foregroundColor : UIColor.gray], for: .selected)

This works for a single item. If you'd like to change the color for all items in the tab bar, try parsing through them like such 

for item in self.tabBar.items! {

      item.appearance().setTitleTextAttributes([NSAttributedStringKey.foregroundColor : UIColor.white], for: .normal)
      item.appearance().setTitleTextAttributes([NSAttributedStringKey.foregroundColor : UIColor.gray], for: .selected)

    }
