How can I change UIButton title color?

You can use -[UIButton setTitleColor:forState:] to do this.

Example:

Objective-C

[buttonName setTitleColor:[UIColor blackColor] forState:UIControlStateNormal];

Swift 2

buttonName.setTitleColor(UIColor.blackColor(), forState: .Normal)

Swift 3

buttonName.setTitleColor(UIColor.white, for: .normal)

You have to use func setTitleColor(_ color: UIColor?, for state: UIControl.State) the same way you set the actual title text. Docs

How to change the title text color of UI Button?

For example - white title text, gray when highlighted (tap is down):

isbeauty.setTitleColor(.white, for: .normal)
isbeauty.setTitleColor(.gray, for: .highlighted)

iOS button title color won't change

Because your button will turn back to UIControlState.Normal after you touch it, it become .Highlighted, then .Normal

You should set
sender.setTitleColor(UIColor.whiteColor(), forState: UIControlState.Selected)

to

sender.setTitleColor(UIColor.whiteColor(), forState: UIControlState. Normal)

or, just set it for all the states since u did a check for color like

sender.setTitleColor(UIColor.whiteColor(), forState: [.Normal,.Selected,.Highlighted])

*Edit: Above doesn't work, can use NSAttributedString instead

if self.loginButton.backgroundColor == UIColor.blackColor() {
            let tittle = NSAttributedString(string: "Login", attributes: [NSForegroundColorAttributeName: UIColor.blackColor()])
            loginButton.setAttributedTitle(tittle, forState: .Normal)
            loginButton.backgroundColor = UIColor.whiteColor()
        } else {
            let tittle = NSAttributedString(string: "Login", attributes: [NSForegroundColorAttributeName: UIColor.whiteColor()])
            loginButton.setAttributedTitle(tittle, forState: .Normal)
            loginButton.backgroundColor = UIColor.blackColor()
        }

change the background color of the title in UIButton

The full answer is :

 btn.tintColor = UIColor.clear  //if we have different tint, which I had 
 btn.titleLabel?.backgroundColor = UIColor.clear

Why am I not able to change UIButton text-color?

Issue

Setting tintColor works only for buttonType = .custom. When you create a button using UIButton() the default buttonType would be .system which will override your global titleLabel and tintColor due to configuration with specific states

Solution

If you want the behavior of the system UIButton of fading the titleLabel when pressing the button, you need to set the titleColor for each state like below:

let button = UIButton()
button.setTitleColor(UIColor.red, for: .normal)

Otherwise you can use .custom and set tintColor directly.

let button = UIButton(type: .custom)
button.tintColor = UIColor.red

Set UIButton text color programmatically

Don’t set the label’s color directly; use -setTitleColor:forState:.

button.setTitleColor(UIColor.whiteColor(), forState:UIControlState.Normal)

UIButton Change Title Color Partially

Use NSMutableAttributedString for this purpose

private let signUpButton = UIButton().then {
  // Creating gray text part
  let grayButtonText = NSAttributedString(string: "FirstPart", attributes: [.font: UIFont.systemFont(ofSize: 12), .foregroundColor: UIColor.gray ])
  // Creating black text part
  let blackButtonText = NSAttributedString(string: "SecondPart", attributes: [.font: UIFont.systemFont(ofSize: 12), .foregroundColor: UIColor.black ])

  // Merging two parts together
  let buttonTitle = NSMutableAttributedString(attributedString: grayButtonText)
  buttonTitle.append(blackButtonText)
  
  // Set it as a title for ".normal" state
  $0.setAttributedTitle(buttonTitle, for: .normal)
}
