changing the text color of a UILabel

Question

Hi Im trying to change the text color of a UILabel in one of my views but having no luck.

Is there something quite obvious that Im not doing in this code?

self.nameTopRight.backgroundColor = [UIColor redColor]; self.nameBottomRight.textColor = [UIColor redColor]; 

Answer 1

The question was already answered for the OP, but for the sake of other people who come here trying to change a label's text color, use the textColor property:

Swift

myLabel.textColor = UIColor.red  // or .red 

Objective-C

myLabel.textColor = [UIColor redColor]; 

Answer 2

They need to be connected in Interface Builder.
