试试tintColor:

_button.tintColor = [UIColor redColor];

我已经开源了一个UIButton子类stabuton来填补这个功能缺口。在MIT许可下可用。适用于iOS 7+(我没有测试过旧的iOS版本)。

试试tintColor:

_button.tintColor = [UIColor redColor];

class CustomButton: UIButton {

    override var isHighlighted: Bool {
        didSet {
            if (isHighlighted) {
                alpha = 0.5
            }
            else {
                alpha = 1
            }            
        }
    }

}

下面的uiimage扩展将生成具有指定颜色参数的图像对象。

extension UIImage {
    static func imageWithColor(tintColor: UIColor) -> UIImage {
        let rect = CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: 1, height: 1)
        UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(rect.size, false, 0)
        tintColor.setFill()
        UIRectFill(rect)
        let image: UIImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext()!
        UIGraphicsEndImageContext()
        return image
       }
    }

按钮的示例用法可以应用于按钮对象，如下所示:

setupButton.setBackgroundImage(UIImage.imageWithColor(tintColor: UIColor(displayP3Red: 232/255, green: 130/255, blue: 121/255, alpha: 1.0)), for: UIControlState.highlighted)

setupButton.setBackgroundImage(UIImage.imageWithColor(tintColor: UIColor(displayP3Red: 255/255, green: 194/255, blue: 190/255, alpha: 1.0)), for: UIControlState.normal)

一个更紧凑的解决方案(基于@aleksejs-mjaliks的答案):

Swift +四分之三的:

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

斯威夫特2:

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

如果你不想覆盖，这是一个更新版本的@timur-bernikowich的答案(Swift 4.2):

extension UIButton {
  func setBackgroundColor(_ color: UIColor, forState controlState: UIControl.State) {
    let colorImage = UIGraphicsImageRenderer(size: CGSize(width: 1, height: 1)).image { _ in
      color.setFill()
      UIBezierPath(rect: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: 1, height: 1)).fill()
    }
    setBackgroundImage(colorImage, for: controlState)
  }
}
