试试下面的代码。

- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {

    UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:[cellIdArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.row] forIndexPath:indexPath];

    // Configure the cell...
    cell.backgroundView =
    [[UIImageView alloc] init] ;
    cell.selectedBackgroundView =[[UIImageView alloc] init];

    UIImage *rowBackground;
    UIImage *selectionBackground;


    rowBackground = [UIImage imageNamed:@"cellBackgroundDarkGrey.png"];
    selectionBackground = [UIImage imageNamed:@"selectedMenu.png"];

    ((UIImageView *)cell.backgroundView).image = rowBackground;
    ((UIImageView *)cell.selectedBackgroundView).image = selectionBackground;



    return cell;
}

/ /快速版:

func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {


        let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "cell")! as UITableViewCell


        cell.selectedBackgroundView = UIImageView()
        cell.backgroundView=UIImageView()

        let selectedBackground : UIImageView = cell.selectedBackgroundView as! UIImageView
        selectedBackground.image = UIImage.init(named:"selected.png");

        let backGround : UIImageView = cell.backgroundView as! UIImageView
        backGround.image = UIImage.init(named:"defaultimage.png");

        return cell


    } 

使用[cell setClipsToBounds:YES];对于分组样式单元格

在自定义单元格类中为表单元格创建一个自定义单元格。M把下面的代码，它会工作的很好。你需要把想要的颜色图像放在选择背景UIImage中。

- (void)setSelected:(BOOL)selected animated:(BOOL)animated
{
    UIImage *selectionBackground = [UIImage imageNamed:@"yellow_bar.png"];
    UIImageView *iview=[[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:selectionBackground];
    self.selectedBackgroundView=iview;
}

单元格选择的背景颜色可以通过界面构建器中的Storyboard设置:

如果你正在使用一个自定义的TableViewCell，你也可以覆盖awakeFromNib:

override func awakeFromNib() {
    super.awakeFromNib()

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

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
}
