适用于iOS 6.0 +

[textfield setValue:your_color forKeyPath:@"_placeholderLabel.textColor"];

希望能有所帮助。

注意:苹果可能会拒绝(0.01%的机会)你的应用程序，因为我们正在访问私有API。这两年以来，我一直在我的所有项目中使用这个功能，但苹果并没有要求我这么做。

我建议另一种解决办法。由于占位符文本使用文本字段的默认字体设置，只需将初始字体颜色设置为您想要的占位符字体颜色。然后设置你的UITextField的委托并实现以下方法:

- (BOOL)textField:(UITextField *)textField shouldChangeCharactersInRange:(NSRange)range replacementString:(NSString *)string
{
    //set color for text input
    textField.textColor = [UIColor blackColor];
    return YES;
}

- (BOOL)textFieldShouldClear:(UITextField *)textField
{
    //set color for placeholder text
    textField.textColor = [UIColor redColor];
    return YES;
}

因此，如果用户开始在文本框中输入文本的颜色改变为黑色，在文本框再次被清除后，占位符文本将再次出现红色。

此解决方案适用于Swift 4.1

    textName.attributedPlaceholder = NSAttributedString(string: textName.placeholder!, attributes: [NSAttributedStringKey.foregroundColor : UIColor.red])

[txt_field setValue:ColorFromHEX(@"#525252") forKeyPath:@"_placeholderLabel.textColor"];

对于设置属性文本字段占位符与多种颜色，

只要指定文本，

  //txtServiceText is your Textfield
 _txtServiceText.placeholder=@"Badal/ Shah";
    NSMutableAttributedString *mutable = [[NSMutableAttributedString alloc] initWithString:_txtServiceText.placeholder];
     [mutable addAttribute: NSForegroundColorAttributeName value:[UIColor whiteColor] range:[_txtServiceText.placeholder rangeOfString:@"Badal/"]]; //Replace it with your first color Text
    [mutable addAttribute: NSForegroundColorAttributeName value:[UIColor orangeColor] range:[_txtServiceText.placeholder rangeOfString:@"Shah"]]; // Replace it with your secondcolor string.
    _txtServiceText.attributedPlaceholder=mutable;

输出:

在iOS7中处理垂直和水平对齐以及占位符的颜色。drawwinrect和drawAtPoint不再使用当前上下文的fillColor。
