Updated Answer for iOS 10 API

SFSafariViewController now has preferredBarTintColor and preferredControlTintColor properties to control how the toolbars look.

Original Answer

SFSafariViewController renders off-process. You can only change the tint color, but not bar style or bar tint color.

To set the tint color, set the Safari controller's view's tint color like so:

let sfController = SFSafariViewController(URL: url, entersReaderIfAvailable: true)
sfController.view.tintColor = UIColor.redColor()
navigationController?.showViewController(sfController, sender: self)
