Question

Answer 1

You can accomplish this quickly, without adding a line of code, using Interface Builder.

Select the UITextField and open the identity inspector on the right:

Click on the plus button and add a new runtime attribute:

placeholderLabel.textColor (Swift 4)

_placeholderLabel.textColor (Swift 3 or less)

Use Color as type and select the color.

That's it.

You wont see the result until you run your app again.
