override func setSelected(selected: Bool, animated: Bool) {
    // Configure the view for the selected state

    super.setSelected(selected, animated: animated)
    let selView = UIView()

    selView.backgroundColor = UIColor( red: 5/255, green: 159/255, blue:223/255, alpha: 1.0 )
    self.selectedBackgroundView = selView
}

自定义单元格类。覆盖:

- (void)setSelected:(BOOL)selected animated:(BOOL)animated {
    [super setSelected:selected animated:animated];

    // Configure the view for the selected state

    if (selected) {
        [self setBackgroundColor: CELL_SELECTED_BG_COLOR];
        [self.contentView setBackgroundColor: CELL_SELECTED_BG_COLOR];
    }else{
        [self setBackgroundColor: [UIColor clearColor]];
        [self.contentView setBackgroundColor: [UIColor clearColor]];
    }
}

如果您想向单元格添加自定义高亮显示的颜色(且单元格包含按钮、标签、图像等)。我按照下面的步骤:

例如，如果你想要一个选定的黄色:

1)创建一个适合所有不透明度为20%的单元格(黄色)的视图，例如backgroundselectedView

2)在单元控制器中这样写:

- (void)touchesBegan:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event
{
     self.backgroundselectedView.alpha=1;
    [super touchesBegan:touches withEvent:event];
}

- (void)touchesEnded:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event
{
    self.backgroundselectedView.alpha=0;
    [super touchesEnded:touches withEvent:event];
}

- (void)touchesCancelled:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event
{
    self.backgroundSelectedImage.alpha=0;
    [super touchesCancelled:touches withEvent:event];
}

[cell setSelectionStyle:UITableViewCellSelectionStyleGray];

确保你已经使用了上面的行来使用选择效果

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

    }

单元格选择的背景颜色可以通过界面构建器中的Storyboard设置:
