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

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
            }
        }
    }
}

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)

试试tintColor:

_button.tintColor = [UIColor redColor];

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
        }
    }
}

更新:

使用UIButtonBackgroundColor Swift库。

OLD:

使用下面的帮助工具创建一个1px x 1px的图像，灰度填充颜色:

UIImage *image = ACUTilingImageGray(248/255.0, 1);

或RGB填充颜色:

UIImage *image = ACUTilingImageRGB(253/255.0, 123/255.0, 43/255.0, 1);

然后，使用该图像设置按钮的背景图像:

[button setBackgroundImage:image forState:UIControlStateNormal];

助手

#pragma mark - Helpers

UIImage *ACUTilingImageGray(CGFloat gray, CGFloat alpha)
{
    return ACUTilingImage(alpha, ^(CGContextRef context) {
        CGContextSetGrayFillColor(context, gray, alpha);
    });
}

UIImage *ACUTilingImageRGB(CGFloat red, CGFloat green, CGFloat blue, CGFloat alpha)
{
    return ACUTilingImage(alpha, ^(CGContextRef context) {
        CGContextSetRGBFillColor(context, red, green, blue, alpha);
    });
}

UIImage *ACUTilingImage(CGFloat alpha, void (^setFillColor)(CGContextRef context))
{
    CGRect rect = CGRectMake(0, 0, 0.5, 0.5);
    UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(rect.size, alpha == 1, 0);
    CGContextRef context = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext();
    setFillColor(context);
    CGContextFillRect(context, rect);
    UIImage *image = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
    UIGraphicsEndImageContext();
    return image;
}

注意:ACU是我的Cocoa Touch静态库称为Acani Utilities的类前缀，其中AC是Acani, U是Utilities。
