你可以重写drawPlaceholderInRect:(CGRect)rect来手动渲染占位符文本:

- (void) drawPlaceholderInRect:(CGRect)rect {
    [[UIColor blueColor] setFill];
    [[self placeholder] drawInRect:rect withFont:[UIFont systemFontOfSize:16]];
}

在swift 3中。X

textField.attributedPlaceholder = NSAttributedString(string: "placeholder text", attributes:[NSForegroundColorAttributeName: UIColor.black])

在swift 5中

textField.attributedPlaceholder = NSAttributedString(string: "placeholder text", attributes: [NSAttributedString.Key.foregroundColor : UIColor.black])

迅速:

if let placeholder = yourTextField.placeholder {
    yourTextField.attributedPlaceholder = NSAttributedString(string:placeholder, 
        attributes: [NSForegroundColorAttributeName: UIColor.blackColor()])
}

在Swift 4.0中:

if let placeholder = yourTextField.placeholder {
    yourTextField.attributedPlaceholder = NSAttributedString(string:placeholder, 
        attributes: [NSAttributedStringKey.foregroundColor: UIColor.black])
}

简单无痛，对一些人来说可能是一个简单的选择。

_placeholderLabel.textColor

不建议制作，Apple可能会拒绝您的提交。

另一个不需要子类化的选项-留空占位符，并将标签放在编辑按钮的顶部。管理标签就像你会管理占位符(清除一旦用户输入任何东西..)

iOS 6及后续版本在UITextField上提供attributedPlaceholder。 iOS 3.2及更高版本提供了setAttributes:range: on NSMutableAttributedString。

您可以执行以下操作:

NSMutableAttributedString *ms = [[NSMutableAttributedString alloc] initWithString:self.yourInput.placeholder];
UIFont *placeholderFont = self.yourInput.font;
NSRange fullRange = NSMakeRange(0, ms.length);
NSDictionary *newProps = @{NSForegroundColorAttributeName:[UIColor yourColor], NSFontAttributeName:placeholderFont};
[ms setAttributes:newProps range:fullRange];
self.yourInput.attributedPlaceholder = ms;
