Ok, here I think you want to color your cell when selected and another color if unselected,leaving those selected cells with the previous color. So have an array states globally. In didSelectRowAtIndexPath :

if (![myMutableArray containsObject:indexPath]) {
    [myMutableArray addObject:indexPath]; 
}
else{
    [myMutableArray removeObject:indexPath];
}

[sampleTableView reloadData];

And in cellForRowAtIndexPath :

if ([myMutableArray containsObject:indexPath]) {
    cell.backgroundColor = [UIColor redColor];
}
else{
    cell.backgroundColor = [UIColor greenColor];
}
