- (id)initWithNibName:(NSString *)nibNameOrNil bundle:(NSBundle *)nibBundleOrNil
{
    self = [super initWithNibName:nibNameOrNil bundle:nibBundleOrNil];
    if (self) {
        // Custom initialization

    }
    return self;
}

- (void)viewDidLoad
{
    [super viewDidLoad];
    // Do any additional setup after loading the view from its nib.
    self.view.backgroundColor = [UIColor redColor];


}

- (void)viewDidAppear:(BOOL)animated
{
    [self.view setBackgroundColor:[UIColor redColor]];

}

I would have thought that was enough. Have you tried putting that line in the if(self){} section of initWithNibName?

nothing it's always white with this code

@implementation zrkViewContattiIPHONE
@synthesize navBar;

- (id)initWithNibName:(NSString *)nibNameOrNil bundle:(NSBundle *)nibBundleOrNil
{
    self = [super initWithNibName:nibNameOrNil bundle:nibBundleOrNil];
    if (self) {
        // Custom initialization
        self.view.backgroundColor = [UIColor redColor];

    }
    return self;
}
// Add this method
- (BOOL)prefersStatusBarHidden {
    return YES;
}
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
    [super viewDidLoad];
    // Do any additional setup after loading the view from its nib.
    self.view.backgroundColor = [UIColor redColor];


}

- (void)viewDidAppear:(BOOL)animated
{
    //[self.view setBackgroundColor:[UIColor redColor]];
    self.view.backgroundColor = [UIColor redColor];

}

Hmmm, in your nib have you dragged another view over the entire window? It looks like there might be something on top the bottom layer which is white and that is blocking you from seing the parent view's color.
Just a thought...
