在你的应用程序中为所有UITextField设置占位符颜色，你可以这样做:

UILabel.appearanceWhenContainedInInstancesOfClasses([UITextField.self]).textColor = UIColor.redColor()

这将为整个应用程序中的所有TextField占位符设置所需的颜色。但它仅从iOS 9开始可用。

在swift中iOS 9之前没有appearenceWhenContainedIn....()方法，但您可以使用这里提供的解决方案之一

在Swift 3.0中，使用

let color = UIColor.lightText
textField.attributedPlaceholder = NSAttributedString(string: textField.placeholder, attributes: [NSForegroundColorAttributeName : color])

在Siwft 5.0 +使用

let color = UIColor.lightText
let placeholder = textField.placeholder ?? "" //There should be a placeholder set in storyboard or elsewhere string or pass empty
textField.attributedPlaceholder = NSAttributedString(string: placeholder, attributes: [NSAttributedString.Key.foregroundColor : color])

Swift 4:

txtControl.attributedPlaceholder = NSAttributedString(string: "Placeholder String...",attributes: [NSAttributedStringKey.foregroundColor: UIColor.gray])

objective - c:

UIColor *color = [UIColor grayColor];
txtControl.attributedPlaceholder = [[NSAttributedString alloc] initWithString:@"Placeholder String..." attributes:@{NSForegroundColorAttributeName: color}];

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!])
        }
    }
}

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)

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])
            }
        }
    }
}
