What is rung or what is missing ?
class ViewController: UIViewController {
let blueColor = UIColor.blueColor()
view.backgroundColor = blueColor
override func viewDidLoad() {
// Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.
}
override func didReceiveMemoryWarning() {
// Dispose of any resources that can be recreated
}
}

Pass in view.backgroundColor = blueColor to the viewDidLoad function and it will work.
