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

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)
}
