title: UIView background color in Swift
body: <p>Is there a way to set the UIView background color with Swift?</p>
  
  <p>I know that in Objective-C, you would use <code>self.view.backgroundColor = [UIColor redColor];</code>, but that does not work the same way in Swift. I have looked around and because Swift is only about a week old, I cannot find an answer.</p>
  
  <p>Does anyone have any suggestions?</p>
