When you tap a cell, a subviews background color is actually being changed. That subview is 'selectedBackgroundView'. You can override the view of each cell in the cellForRowAtIndexPath TableView delegate method.

func tableView(tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {

   let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier("identifier", forIndexPath: indexPath) 

   let selectedView = UIView()
   selectedView.backgroundColor = UIColor(red: 250/255, green: 250/255, blue:     250/255, alpha: 1.0)
   cell.selectedBackgroundView = selectedView

   return cell
}

Change the color to whatever you like.
