This subclass of UIDatePicker works for iOS 7. Its not pretty but gets the job done.

#define kNotification_UIView_didAddSubview @"kNotification_UIView_didAddSubview"
@implementation UIView (addSubview)

-(void) didAddSubview:(UIView *)subview{
    [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] postNotificationName:kNotification_UIView_didAddSubview object:self];
}
@end


@interface DatePicker ()
@property (nonatomic, strong) UIColor* textColor;
@end

@implementation DatePicker

-(id) initWithFrame:(CGRect)frame{
    self = [super initWithFrame:frame];
    if (self){
        [self setup];
    }
    return self;
}
-(id) initWithCoder:(NSCoder *)aDecoder{
    self = [super initWithCoder:aDecoder];
    if (self){
        [self setup];
    }
    return self;
}

-(void) setup{
    self.textColor = [UIColor darkTextColor];
    [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:@selector(subviewsUpdated:) name:kNotification_UIView_didAddSubview object:nil];
}

-(void) dealloc{
    [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] removeObserver:self];
}

-(void) updateLabels:(UIView*) view{
    for (UILabel* label in view.subviews){
        if ([label isKindOfClass:[UILabel class]]){
            label.textColor = self.textColor;
        }else{
            [self updateLabels:label];
        }
    }
}

-(BOOL) isSubview:(UIView*) view{
    if (view == nil){
        return NO;
    }
    if (view.superview == self){
        return YES;
    }
    return [self isSubview:view.superview];
}

-(void) subviewsUpdated:(NSNotification*) notification{
    if ([notification.object isKindOfClass:NSClassFromString(@"UIPickerTableView")] && [self isSubview:notification.object]){
        [self updateLabels:notification.object];
    }
}
