我需要保持占位符的对齐，这样亚当的答案对我来说就不够了。

为了解决这个问题，我使用了一个小的变化，我希望也能帮助到你们:

- (void) drawPlaceholderInRect:(CGRect)rect {
    //search field placeholder color
    UIColor* color = [UIColor whiteColor];

    [color setFill];
    [self.placeholder drawInRect:rect withFont:self.font lineBreakMode:UILineBreakModeTailTruncation alignment:self.textAlignment];
}

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。

@interface CustomPlaceHolderTextColorTextField : UITextField

@end


@implementation CustomPlaceHolderTextColorTextField : UITextField


-(void) drawPlaceholderInRect:(CGRect)rect  {
    if (self.placeholder) {
        // color of placeholder text
        UIColor *placeHolderTextColor = [UIColor redColor];

        CGSize drawSize = [self.placeholder sizeWithAttributes:[NSDictionary dictionaryWithObject:self.font forKey:NSFontAttributeName]];
        CGRect drawRect = rect;

        // verticially align text
        drawRect.origin.y = (rect.size.height - drawSize.height) * 0.5;

        // set alignment
        NSMutableParagraphStyle *paragraphStyle = [[NSMutableParagraphStyle alloc] init];
        paragraphStyle.alignment = self.textAlignment;

        // dictionary of attributes, font, paragraphstyle, and color
        NSDictionary *drawAttributes = @{NSFontAttributeName: self.font,
                                     NSParagraphStyleAttributeName : paragraphStyle,
                                     NSForegroundColorAttributeName : placeHolderTextColor};


        // draw
        [self.placeholder drawInRect:drawRect withAttributes:drawAttributes];
    }
}

@end

斯威夫特的版本。也许能帮到别人。

class TextField: UITextField {
   override var placeholder: String? {
        didSet {
            let placeholderString = NSAttributedString(string: placeholder!, attributes: [NSForegroundColorAttributeName: UIColor.whiteColor()])
            self.attributedPlaceholder = placeholderString
        }
    }
}

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

你可以改变占位符文本颜色的任何颜色，你想通过使用下面的代码。

UIColor *color = [UIColor lightTextColor];
YOURTEXTFIELD.attributedPlaceholder = [[NSAttributedString alloc] initWithString:@"PlaceHolder Text" attributes:@{NSForegroundColorAttributeName: color}];

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。
