子类化UIButton并添加可检查的属性以方便使用(在Swift 3.0中编写):

final class SelectableBackgroundButton: UIButton {

    private struct Constants {
        static let animationDuration: NSTimeInterval = 0.1
    }

    @IBInspectable
    var animatedColorChange: Bool = true

    @IBInspectable
    var selectedBgColor: UIColor = UIColor.blackColor().colorWithAlphaComponent(0.2)

    @IBInspectable
    var normalBgColor: UIColor = UIColor.clearColor()

    override var selected: Bool {
        didSet {
            if animatedColorChange {
                UIView.animateWithDuration(Constants.animationDuration) {
                    self.backgroundColor = self.selected ? self.selectedBgColor : self.normalBgColor
                }
            } else {
                self.backgroundColor = selected ? selectedBgColor : normalBgColor
            }
        }
    }

    override var highlighted: Bool {
        didSet {
            if animatedColorChange {
                UIView.animateWithDuration(Constants.animationDuration) {
                    self.backgroundColor = self.highlighted ? self.selectedBgColor : self.normalBgColor
                }
            } else {
                self.backgroundColor = highlighted ? selectedBgColor : normalBgColor
            }
        }
    }
}

解决方案

import UIKit

extension UIColor {
    func createOnePixelImage() -> UIImage? {
        let size = CGSize(width: 1, height: 1)
        UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(size)
        defer { UIGraphicsEndImageContext() }
        guard let context = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext() else { return nil }
        context.setFillColor(cgColor)
        context.fill(CGRect(origin: .zero, size: size))
        return UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext()
    }
}

extension UIButton {
    func setBackground(_ color: UIColor, for state: UIControl.State) {
        setBackgroundImage(color.createOnePixelImage(), for: state)
    }
}

使用

button.setBackground(.green, for: .normal)

斯威夫特3:

extension UIButton {
    private func imageWithColor(color: UIColor) -> UIImage {
        let rect = CGRect(x:0.0,y:0.0,width: 1.0,height: 1.0)
        UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(rect.size)
        let context = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext()

        context!.setFillColor(color.cgColor)
        context!.fill(rect)

        let image = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext()
        UIGraphicsEndImageContext()

        return image!
    }

    func setBackgroundColor(color: UIColor, forUIControlState state: UIControlState) {
        self.setBackgroundImage(imageWithColor(color: color), for: state)
    }
}

在Swift 5中

对于那些不想使用彩色背景击败所选状态的人

简单地说，你可以通过使用#Selector & if语句轻松地为每个状态单独更改UIButton颜色来解决这个问题

例如:

    override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()
    self.myButtonOutlet.backgroundColor = UIColor.white  //to reset the button color to its original color ( optionally )
}

@IBOutlet weak var myButtonOutlet: UIButton!{
    didSet{  // Button selector and image here
        self.myButtonOutlet.setImage(UIImage(systemName: ""), for: UIControl.State.normal)

        self.myButtonOutlet.setImage(UIImage(systemName: "checkmark"), for: UIControl.State.selected)



        self.myButtonOutlet.addTarget(self, action: #selector(tappedButton), for: UIControl.Event.touchUpInside)
    }
}

@objc func tappedButton() {  // Colors selection is here
    if self.myButtonOutlet.isSelected == true {

        self.myButtonOutlet.isSelected = false
        self.myButtonOutlet.backgroundColor = UIColor.white         
    } else {
        self.myButtonOutlet.isSelected = true

        self.myButtonOutlet.backgroundColor = UIColor.black
        self.myButtonOutlet.tintColor00 = UIColor.white

    }
}

extension UIButton {
    func setBackgroundColor(color: UIColor, forState: UIControl.State) {
        let size = CGSize(width: 1, height: 1)
        UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(size)
        let context = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext()
        context?.setFillColor(color.cgColor)
        context?.fill(CGRect(origin: CGPoint.zero, size: size))
        let colorImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext()
        UIGraphicsEndImageContext()
        setBackgroundImage(colorImage, for: forState)
    }

}

谢谢@Maverick

不需要重写高亮显示为computed属性。你可以使用属性观察者来触发背景颜色的变化:

override var highlighted: Bool {
    didSet {
        backgroundColor = highlighted ? UIColor.lightGrayColor() : UIColor.whiteColor()
    }
}

斯威夫特4

override open var isHighlighted: Bool {
    didSet {
        backgroundColor = isHighlighted ? UIColor.lightGray : UIColor.white
    }
}
