UITableView : get background color

Question

Is there a constant that returns the secondary background color of a UITableView with style "grouped" ? That's the gray color here :

enter image description here

I've tried UIColor.groupTableViewBackgroundColor but it returns apparently the background color of the rows (light gray), not of the secondary background color (gray).

I could hardcode the color rgb components, but that would fail if apple change the default UI colors... — Arnaud, Feb 06 '13 at 08:17

Add the QuartzCore framework in your app.
Import the framework in your .h or .m file
Then -
```
tbl.layer.borderColor
```

Does not seems to work... I use `[UIColor colorWithCGColor:myTableView.layer.borderColor]` and it brings me black color – Arnaud Feb 06 '13 at 08:11

tableView.separatorColor gives border color. I think that is you want.

Maybe i was not precise enough in my question, I want the secondary background color (gray), not the border color – Arnaud Feb 06 '13 at 08:12
