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

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)。

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
            }            
        }
    }

}

如果你有一张图片，试试这个:

-(void)setBackgroundImage:(UIImage *)image forState:(UIControlState)state;

或者看看showsTouchWhenHighlighted是否足够。

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)
    }
}
