Answer 1

If is a Xamarin Forms Application , there is a easy way to set PlaceHolder Color for iOS and Android :

<Label Text="Hello, Custom Renderer!" />
<local:MyEntry Placeholder="input code" PlaceholderColor="Red"/

By the way , if need to implement it in Render for iOS , here is the solution :

var text = new NSAttributedString("Hello, World", foregroundColor: UIColor.Red);
Control.AttributedPlaceholder = text;

You can set AttributedPlaceholder for UITextField to set color .
