我使用下面的方法，对我来说很好，

class MyTableViewCell : UITableViewCell {

                var defaultStateColor:UIColor?
                var hitStateColor:UIColor?

                 override func awakeFromNib(){
                     super.awakeFromNib()
                     self.selectionStyle = .None
                 }

// if you are overriding init you should set selectionStyle = .None

                override func touchesBegan(touches: Set<UITouch>, withEvent event: UIEvent?) {
                    if let hitColor = hitStateColor {
                        self.contentView.backgroundColor = hitColor
                    }
                }

                override func touchesEnded(touches: Set<UITouch>, withEvent event: UIEvent?) {
                    if let defaultColor = defaultStateColor {
                        self.contentView.backgroundColor = defaultColor
                    }
                }

                override func touchesCancelled(touches: Set<UITouch>?, withEvent event: UIEvent?) {
                    if let defaultColor = defaultStateColor {
                        self.contentView.backgroundColor = defaultColor
                    }
                }
            }

斯威夫特4 +:

在表格单元格中添加以下行

let bgColorView = UIView()
bgColorView.backgroundColor =  .red
self.selectedBackgroundView = bgColorView

最后应该如下所示

override func setSelected(_ selected: Bool, animated: Bool)
    {
        super.setSelected(selected, animated: animated)

        // Configure the view for the selected state
        let bgColorView = UIView()
        bgColorView.backgroundColor =  .red
        self.selectedBackgroundView = bgColorView

    }

I've got a slightly different approach than everyone else that reflects the selection on touch rather than after being selected. I have a subclassed UITableViewCell. All you have to do is set the background color in the touch events, which simulates selection on touch, and then set the background color in the setSelected function. Setting the background color in the selSelected function allows for deselecting the cell. Make sure to pass the touch event to the super, otherwise the cell won't actually act as if its selected.

override func touchesBegan(touches: NSSet, withEvent event: UIEvent) {
    self.backgroundColor = UIColor(white: 0.0, alpha: 0.1)
    super.touchesBegan(touches, withEvent: event)
}

override func touchesCancelled(touches: NSSet!, withEvent event: UIEvent!) {
    self.backgroundColor = UIColor.clearColor()
    super.touchesCancelled(touches, withEvent: event)
}

override func setSelected(selected: Bool, animated: Bool) {
    super.setSelected(selected, animated: animated)

    // Configure the view for the selected state
    self.backgroundColor = selected ? UIColor(white: 0.0, alpha: 0.1) : UIColor.clearColor()
}

覆盖UITableViewCell的setSelected也可以。

override func setSelected(selected: Bool, animated: Bool) {
    super.setSelected(selected, animated: animated)

    // Set background color
    let view = UIView()
    view.backgroundColor = UIColor.redColor()
    selectedBackgroundView = view
}

- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
    [tableView reloadData];
    UITableViewCell *cell=(UITableViewCell*)[tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:indexPath];
    [cell setBackgroundColor:[UIColor orangeColor]];
}

我想指出的是，XIB编辑器为您提供了以下标准选项:

部分:蓝色/灰色/没有

(右边有选项的列，第4个标签，第一组“表格视图单元格”，第4个子组，3个项目中的第一个读为“选择”)

也许你想做的事情可以通过选择正确的标准选项来实现。
