您可以使用Interface Builder快速完成此任务，而无需添加一行代码。

选择UITextField并打开右边的标识检查器:

点击加号按钮，添加一个新的运行时属性:

placeholderLabel。textColor (Swift 4)

_placeholderLabel。textColor (Swift 3或更少)

使用颜色作为类型并选择颜色。

就是这样。

你不会看到结果，直到你再次运行你的应用程序。

为迅速

创建UITextField扩展

extension UITextField{

    func setPlaceHolderColor(){
        self.attributedPlaceholder = NSAttributedString(string: self.placeholder!, attributes: [NSForegroundColorAttributeName : UIColor.white])
    }
}

如果你是从storyboard设置的。

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!])
        }
    }
}

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

在Swift中这样使用，

 let placeHolderText = textField.placeholder ?? ""
 let str = NSAttributedString(string:placeHolderText!, attributes: [NSAttributedString.Key.foregroundColor :UIColor.lightGray])
 textField.attributedPlaceholder = str

在Objective C中

NSString *placeHolder = [textField.placeholder length]>0 ? textField.placeholder: @"";
NSAttributedString *str = [[NSAttributedString alloc] initWithString:placeHolder attributes:@{ NSForegroundColorAttributeName : [UIColor lightGrayColor] }];
textField.attributedPlaceholder = str;

用于更改占位符文本颜色的Objective C代码。

首先导入这个objc/runtime类-

#进口< objc / >

然后替换文本字段名称- Ivar Ivar = class_getinstancvariable ([UITextField类]，"_placeholderLabel"); UILabel *placeholderLabel = object_getIvar(YourTxtField, ivar); placeholderLabel。textColor = [UIColor whiteColor];

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;

}
