I would like to know how to change the keyboard background color programmatically in iOS? The background is normally grey but I have already seen black background (behind letters).

For the dark background use:

mytextfield.keyboardAppearance = UIKeyboardAppearanceAlert;

Read to find more information about UITextInputTraits (use UIKeyboardAppearanceDark at iOS 7+).
