Answer 1

Just in case someone need to change all Back buttons color or font with Swift5. UIBarButtonItem.appearance().tintColor = .red

Add this to AppDelegate.swift file.

import UIKit

@main
class AppDelegate: UIResponder, UIApplicationDelegate {

var window: UIWindow?

func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplication.LaunchOptionsKey: Any]?) -> Bool {
    
    // Override point for customization after application launch.        
    UIBarButtonItem.appearance().tintColor = .white
    UIBarButtonItem.appearance().setTitleTextAttributes([
        NSAttributedString.Key.foregroundColor: .red,
        NSAttributedString.Key.font: UIFont(name: "font_name", size: 14)!
    ], for: .normal)

    return true
}

}
