Objective-C UILabel will not change color

The code I have is pretty much this (no custom views, just a single view application):

viewController.h:

@interface ViewController : UIViewController <UITextFieldDelegate>
...
...
@property (strong, nonatomic) IBOutlet UILabel *statusMessage;
@end

ViewController.m:

@synthesize statusMessage = _statusMessage;

- (void) viewDidLoad {
   ...
   ...
   ...
   self.statusMessage = [[UIlabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(...)];
   [self.statusMessage setTextColor:[UIColor redColor]];
}

I am able to change the background color and I have created other labels that display properly with which ever colors I choose for them, but no matter what I do this label always displays as a grayish color. Any suggestions are appreciated!

Is your label disabled? Check the value of enabled; if it's NO, that could override your color. Ditto for highlighted; if it's YES, it will use the highlighted color.
