你可以使用这个类别添加方法setBackgroundColor:forState:

把它放进去，你就可以开始了: *属性可以在IB中设置，如果没有设置高亮背景，按下时背景不会改变

private var highlightedBackgroundColors = [UIButton:UIColor]()
private var unhighlightedBackgroundColors = [UIButton:UIColor]()
extension UIButton {

    @IBInspectable var highlightedBackgroundColor: UIColor? {
        get {
            return highlightedBackgroundColors[self]
        }

        set {
            highlightedBackgroundColors[self] = newValue
        }
    }

    override open var backgroundColor: UIColor? {
        get {
            return super.backgroundColor
        }

        set {
            unhighlightedBackgroundColors[self] = newValue
            super.backgroundColor = newValue
        }
    }

    override open var isHighlighted: Bool {
        get {
            return super.isHighlighted
        }

        set {
            if highlightedBackgroundColor != nil {
                super.backgroundColor = newValue ? highlightedBackgroundColor : unhighlightedBackgroundColors[self]
            }
            super.isHighlighted = newValue
        }
    }
}

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
    }
}

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)
    }
}

简单的是只使用UIButton扩展

extension UIButton {

    func setBackgroundColor(color: UIColor, forState: UIControl.State) {
        self.clipsToBounds = true  // add this to maintain corner radius
        UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(CGSize(width: 1, height: 1))
        if let context = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext() {
            context.setFillColor(color.cgColor)
            context.fill(CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: 1, height: 1))
            let colorImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext()
            UIGraphicsEndImageContext()
            self.setBackgroundImage(colorImage, for: forState)
        }
    }

}

然后用这个

 optionButton.setBackgroundColor(color: UIColor(red:0.09, green:0.42, blue:0.82, alpha:1.0), forState: .selected)

 optionButton.setBackgroundColor(color: UIColor(red:0.96, green:0.96, blue:0.96, alpha:1.0), forState: .highlighted)

 optionButton.setBackgroundColor(color: UIColor(red:0.96, green:0.96, blue:0.96, alpha:1.0), forState: .normal)

class CustomButton: UIButton {

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

}
