Default TableView section header background color

[jonc]

I have been using the "- (UIView *)tableViewUITableView *)tableView viewForHeaderInSectionNSInteger)section" on a plain styled table because I want the section headers to be 2 lines long but still have them be that semi transparent default color. By default you can only be a one line string, even if you insert the \n character for a new line with the more basic "- (NSString *)tableViewUITableView *)tableView titleForHeaderInSectionNSInteger)section;" method.

Does anyone know what that color color is? It looks like a blueish gray with the alpha adjusted, like the letter headers when looking at Songs under iPod. I was trying to match it exactly, but I am not sure that it will be possible unless any of you have some ideas on how to figure it out. I saw several arrays of section header views in the UITableView class but they are all private and I can't touch them.

I did a lot of searching and couldn't even find anything on google about viewForHeaderInSection so any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Color - If you are on a device make a snapshot in xcode organizer and read that in any graphics program. If on simulator then snapshot the simulator and take that into a graphics program.
Desktop stuff there's also pixie utility app in xcode apps.

It wasn't a solid color, it looks slightly rounded at the edges. I changed the width of the default section title so it would fit 2 lines and put no text in it. I took a screenshot and cut out that part of the table. I create a UIColor with the image and turn down the alpha a bit. I then apply it as the background of the lbabel I return, it looks like the real thing.

I am using a UIImageView for viewForHeaderInSection, it came out with the image resized to the rect of the header, I tried to set tableview.autoResizeSubviews = NO, it did not work. I also tried to use rectForHeaderInSection, it did not work either.
Did anyone use UIImageView for viewForHeaderInSection?

Here's the UILabel info for tableView headers:

Plain
fontName: Helvetica-Bold
pointSize: 18.000000
textColor: UIDeviceWhiteColorSpace 1 1
shadowColor: UIDeviceWhiteColorSpace 0 0.44
shadowOffset: CGSize 0 1


Grouped
fontName: Helvetica-Bold
pointSize: 17.000000
textColor: UIDeviceRGBColorSpace 0.298039 0.337255 0.423529 1
shadowColor: UIDeviceWhiteColorSpace 1 1
shadowOffset: CGSize 0 1


As for the background of the plain style header, that's a UIImage, not simply a backgroundColor. Notice the subtle vertical gradient.
