Swift 4

txtField1.attributedPlaceholder = NSAttributedString(string: "-", attributes: [NSAttributedStringKey.foregroundColor: UIColor.white])

yourTextfield.attributedPlaceholder = NSAttributedString(string: "your placeholder text",attributes: [NSForegroundColorAttributeName: UIColor.white])

    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!])
                }
            } 
}

您可以使用带属性的字符串设置占位符文本。只需要把你想要的颜色传递给属性参数。

斯威夫特5:

let myTextField = UITextField(frame: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: 200, height: 30))
myTextField.backgroundColor = .blue
myTextField.attributedPlaceholder = NSAttributedString(
    string: "Placeholder Text",
    attributes: [NSAttributedString.Key.foregroundColor: UIColor.white]
)

斯威夫特3:

myTextField.attributedPlaceholder = NSAttributedString(
    string: "Placeholder Text",
    attributes: [NSAttributedStringKey.foregroundColor: UIColor.white]
)

年长的迅速:

myTextField.attributedPlaceholder = NSAttributedString(
    string: "Placeholder Text",
    attributes: [NSForegroundColorAttributeName: UIColor.white]
)

添加带属性的占位符:

let attributes : [String : Any]  = [ NSForegroundColorAttributeName: UIColor.lightGray,
                                     NSFontAttributeName : UIFont(name: "Helvetica Neue Light Italic", size: 12.0)!
                                   ]
x_textfield.attributedPlaceholder = NSAttributedString(string: "Placeholder Text", attributes:attributes)

对于iOS13

+(void)ChangeplaceholderColor :(UITextField *)TxtFld andColor:(UIColor*)color { 
    NSMutableAttributedString *placeholderAttributedString = [[NSMutableAttributedString alloc] initWithAttributedString:TxtFld.attributedPlaceholder];
       [placeholderAttributedString addAttribute:NSForegroundColorAttributeName value:color range:NSMakeRange(0, [placeholderAttributedString length])];
       TxtFld.attributedPlaceholder = placeholderAttributedString;

}
