UILabel 的字体颜色没有改变

Question

I am trying to display numbers on a UILabel with a bold black font and size 50.

After some failed attempts I just realized that no matter what color I set the font to, it always gets set to lightGray. Is there something else I need to do other than the below?

[DisplayLabel setFont:[UIFont fontWithName:[NSString stringWithUTF8String:"HelveticaNeue-Bold"] size:50]];
DisplayLabel.textColor = [UIColor brownColor];
DisplayLabel.textAlignment = NSTextAlignmentCenter;

I am adding the label using the storyboard to a view.

Answer 1

I encountered the same issue but it was cause by setting a custom color in the storyboard. Apparently you must have the color attribute set to default in order to change it programatically. I found this true with all UIView s.

Answer 2

Make sure your label's behavior like that.

Answer 3

I was trying change programtelly the textcolor of a UILabel in a UITabelViewCell in cellForRowAt. And the label just change the textcolor after being reloaded.

I could change the label textColor in the beggining after change the TEXTCOLOR IN STORYBOARD TO DEFAULT and i change it programatelly.

Answer 4

Yeah, that bug is pretty annoying. Just relaunch the Xcode and it will work good

Answer 5

I got this to work for a table or collection view cell by setting the color first to a system color, then to my custom color in cellForRowAtIndexPath eg

myLabel.textColor = .black
myLabel.textColor = UIColor(named: "My custom color")
