Solution 1:

Basically, you have to create a UIButton, configure it as you wish, and then initialize the Bar Button Item with the UIButton as a custom view. like:

UIButton *button = [UIButton buttonWithType:....];
...(customize your button)...

UIBarButtonItem *barButton = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView:button];

or

Solution 2:

To change the color of title: iOS7:

UIBarButtonItem *button = 
 [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithTitle:@"Title" 
                                  style:UIBarButtonItemStyleBordered 
                                 target:nil 
                                 action:nil];
[button setTitleTextAttributes:
          [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys: 
               [UIColor redColor], NSForegroundColorAttributeName,nil] 
                                            forState:UIControlStateNormal];

and prior iOS7:

UIBarButtonItem *button = 
  [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithTitle:@"Title" 
                                   style:UIBarButtonItemStyleBordered 
                                  target:nil 
                                  action:nil];
[button setTitleTextAttributes:
          [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys: 
               [UIColor redColor], UITextAttributeTextColor,nil] 
                                    forState:UIControlStateNormal];

Hope it would help to figure out the solution for your question.
