Lee Andrew's answer in Swift 3 / Swift 4:

class MyCell: UITableViewCell {

    override func layoutSubviews() {
        super.layoutSubviews()

        for subview in self.subviews {

            for sub in subview.subviews {

                if String(describing: sub).range(of: "UITableViewCellActionButton") != nil {

                    for view in sub.subviews {

                        if String(describing: view).range(of: "UIButtonLabel") != nil {

                            if let label = view as? UILabel {

                                label.textColor = UIColor.black

                            }

                        }

                    }

                }

            }

        }

    }

}

-(NSArray *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView editActionsForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
    UITableViewRowAction *editAction = [UITableViewRowAction rowActionWithStyle:UITableViewRowActionStyleDefault title:@"edit" handler:^(UITableViewRowAction *action, NSIndexPath *indexPath)
    {
    // Action something here

}];

editAction.backgroundColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
[[UIButton appearance] setTitleColor:[UIColor blackColor] forState:UIControlStateNormal];

return @[editAction];

You can add these two functions in your UITableViewCell subclass and call the setActionButtonsTitleColor function to set action buttons' title color.

func setActionButtonsTitleColor(color: UIColor) {
  let actionButtons: [UIButton] = self.getActionButtons()

  for actionButton in actionButtons {
    actionButton.setTitleColor(color, for: .normal)
  }
}

func getActionButtons() -> [UIButton] {
  let actionButtons: [UIButton] = self.subviews.map {
    (view: UIView) -> [UIView] in
    return view.subviews
  }
  .joined()
  .filter {
    (view: UIView) -> Bool in
    return String(describing: view).contains("UITableViewCellActionButton")
  }.flatMap {
    (view: UIView) -> UIButton? in
    return view as? UIButton
  }

  return actionButtons
}

Swift

No need to mess with UIButton.appearance...

Put this in your cell's class and change UITableViewCellActionButton according to your needs.

override func layoutSubviews() {

    super.layoutSubviews()

    for subview in self.subviews {

        for subview2 in subview.subviews {

            if (String(subview2).rangeOfString("UITableViewCellActionButton") != nil) {

                for view in subview2.subviews {

                    if (String(view).rangeOfString("UIButtonLabel") != nil) {

                        if let label = view as? UILabel {

                            label.textColor = YOUR COLOUR
                        }

                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }

}
