UISegmentedContol change background color without changing image tint color

Question

I have a UISegmentedContol with images inside each segment. In the storyboard I set the background color and the tint color of the image to white. Now when one segment is selected, I am trying to change the background color only and keep the image tint to white (the same as the unselected segments) but I am unable to do so. Here is my code:

- (IBAction)onSegmentValueChanged:(id)sender
{
    UISegmentedControl *segment = (UISegmentedControl*)sender;
    UIColor *tintcolor=UIColorFromRGB(0x3A0F3A);

    for (int i=0; i<[segment.subviews count]; i++)
    {
        if ([[segment.subviews objectAtIndex:i]isSelected] )
        {
            [[segment.subviews objectAtIndex:i] setBackgroundColor:[UIColor purpleColor]];
        [[segment.subviews objectAtIndex:i] setTintColor:[UIColor whiteColor]];
        }
        else
        {
            [[segment.subviews objectAtIndex:i] setBackgroundColor:tintcolor];
        }
    }    
}

See picture below:

The unselected segments have the correct background color (purple)and the correct image tint (white). The selected segment should have a purple background with a white image tint but instead it has a white background.

For all additional functions with segment control, i'm using custom segment control. For example you can check my segment control.

So you can add your images, colors and etc.

I had the similar need in my previous project and I used the PPiFlatSegmentedControl for it and it works like magic.
