self.view.backgroundColor = [UIColor orangeColor];
You can access all default colors with UIColor (redColor, grayColor). You can make custom colors with rgb values using UIColor's method shown here:
self.view.backgroundColor = [UIColor colorWithRed:100 / 255.0 green:100 / 255.0 blue:100 / 255.0 alpha:1];
The above code will create a gray color. Since 255.0 is the greatest number for red, green and blue, you need to divide it by 255.0 to get a percent out of 1.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask!
