I found a better solution. Make sure that plain text is in the first item. If the NSTextAttachment (image) is the first item, you can insert a space string before the NSTextAttachment.

// create image attachment
NSTextAttachment *imageAttachment = [[NSTextAttachment alloc] init];
imageAttachment.image = [[UIImage imageNamed:@"ImageName"] imageWithRenderingMode:UIImageRenderingModeAlwaysTemplate];
NSAttributedString *imageAttchString = [NSAttributedString attributedStringWithAttachment:attachment];

// create attributedString
NSString *string = @"Some text ";
NSMutableAttributedString *attributedString = [[NSMutableAttributedString alloc] initWithString:string];

// insert image 
[attributedString insertAttributedString:imageAttchString atIndex:0];
[attributedString insertAttributedString:[[NSAttributedString alloc] initWithString:@" "] atIndex:0];

label.attributedText =  attributedString;

// used
label.textColor = [UIColor redColor];
// or
label.textColor = [UIColor greenColor];
