# How to set background color of uipickerview in iOS?

I have created a UIPickerView and added a UIView on that picker [view](https://yourviews.mindstick.com/view/84701/layoffs-in-google-india-2023-view), [now](https://yourviews.mindstick.com/view/81402/it-s-liberals-vs-progressives-in-us-politics-now) I want to change [background color](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/12937/how-to-style-togglebutton-so-that-the-background-color-is-white) of uipickerview.\
Can [anyone give me](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/41194/can-anyone-give-me-some-high-and-low-points-of-each-of-the-four-first-presidential-administrations) the suggestion how to do it.!

If you want to change the [background](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/65/how-to-change-background-color-of-tab-control-in-c-sharp) [color](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/77/how-to-split-form-background-color-in-c-sharp) of picker view, create a custom frame using CGRect class and assign it on the pickerview. and after that you can set the backgroundColor.

```
CGRect rect = CGRectMake(0, self.view.frame.size.height, self.view.frame.size.width, 196);pickerView = [[[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:rect] autorelease];pickerView.backgroundColor = [UIColor greyColor];[self.view addSubview:pickerView];[pickerView addSubview:picker];[self.view addSubview:picker];
```
