Xcode 9.2 Swift 4

extension UITextField{
    @IBInspectable var placeHolderColor: UIColor? {
        get {
            return self.placeHolderColor
        }
        set {
            self.attributedPlaceholder = NSAttributedString(string:self.placeholder != nil ? self.placeholder! : "", attributes:[NSAttributedStringKey.foregroundColor: newValue!])
        }
    }
}

就我而言，我做了以下事情:

extension UITextField {
    @IBInspectable var placeHolderColor: UIColor? {
        get {
            if let color = self.attributedPlaceholder?.attribute(.foregroundColor, at: 0, effectiveRange: nil) as? UIColor {
                return color
            }
            return nil
        }
        set (setOptionalColor) {
            if let setColor = setOptionalColor {
                let string = self.placeholder ?? ""
                self.attributedPlaceholder = NSAttributedString(string: string , attributes:[NSAttributedString.Key.foregroundColor: setColor])
            }
        }
    }
}

在我的例子中，我使用Swift 4

我为UITextField创建扩展

extension UITextField {
    func placeholderColor(color: UIColor) {
        let attributeString = [
            NSAttributedStringKey.foregroundColor: color.withAlphaComponent(0.6),
            NSAttributedStringKey.font: self.font!
            ] as [NSAttributedStringKey : Any]
        self.attributedPlaceholder = NSAttributedString(string: self.placeholder!, attributes: attributeString)
    }
}

yourField。placeholderColor(颜色:UIColor.white)

像这样创建UITextField扩展:

extension UITextField{
   @IBInspectable var placeHolderColor: UIColor? {
        get {
            return self.placeHolderColor
        }
        set {
            self.attributedPlaceholder = NSAttributedString(string:self.placeholder != nil ? self.placeholder! : "", attributes:[NSAttributedString.Key.foregroundColor: newValue!])
        }
    }
}

在你的故事板或。xib中。你会看到

这段代码在Swift3中工作:

yourTextFieldName .setValue(UIColor.init(colorLiteralRed: 80/255, green: 80/255, blue: 80/255, alpha: 1.0), forKeyPath: "_placeholderLabel.textColor")

如果你有任何问题，请告诉我。

crubio对Swift 4的答案更新

选择UITextField并打开右边的标识检查器:

单击加号按钮并添加一个新的运行时属性:placeholderLabel。textColor(代替_placeholderLabel.textColor)

使用颜色作为类型并选择颜色。

如果您运行您的项目，您将看到这些更改。
