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
}

对于Swift 3.0:

override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, didSelectRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) {
    let cell = super.tableView(tableView, cellForRowAt: indexPath)

    cell.contentView.backgroundColor = UIColor.red
}

对于那些只想摆脱默认选择灰色背景的人，把这行代码放在你的cellForRowAtIndexPath func中:

yourCell.selectionStyle = .None

不需要自定义单元格。如果你只想改变单元格的选定颜色，你可以这样做:

objective - c:

UIView *bgColorView = [[UIView alloc] init];
bgColorView.backgroundColor = [UIColor redColor];
[cell setSelectedBackgroundView:bgColorView];

迅速:

let bgColorView = UIView()
bgColorView.backgroundColor = UIColor.red
cell.selectedBackgroundView = bgColorView

Swift 3:对我来说，当你把它放在cellForRowAtIndexPath:方法中时，它就工作了

let view = UIView()
view.backgroundColor = UIColor.red
cell.selectedBackgroundView = view

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]];
    }
}
