Objective C

set font style, size and color

NSDictionary *attributes = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObject: [UIFont fontWithName: @"Arial" size:16] forKey:NSFontAttributeName];
[self->mySegmentControl setTitleTextAttributes: attributes forState: normal];
[self->mySegmentControl setTitleTextAttributes: @{NSForegroundColorAttributeName: UIColor.blueColor} forState: UIControlStateSelected];

With references to @i-- Answer

Updated Swift 5 

UISegmentedControl.appearance().setTitleTextAttributes([NSAttributedString.Key.foregroundColor: UIColor.red], for: .selected)

Updated Swift 4.1

UISegmentedControl.appearance().setTitleTextAttributes([NSAttributedStringKey.foregroundColor: UIColor.red], for: .selected)

Swift 3.1

UISegmentedControl.appearance().setTitleTextAttributes([NSForegroundColorAttributeName: UIColor.red as Any], for: .selected)

For Earlier Swift Version: 

UISegmentedControl.appearance().setTitleTextAttributes([NSForegroundColorAttributeName: UIColor.red], for: .selected)

There's no way to set the custom color of selected segment title in UISegmentedControl. The UIControlState in forState: used to set the attributes of segment text for normal and selected state.

From Your Code :

[[UIsegmentControl.subviews objectAtIndex:segment.selectedSegmentIndex] setTintColor:[UIColor redColor]];

Try This Code:

[segmnt_cntrl setTitleTextAttributes:@{NSFontAttributeName:[UIFont fontWithName:@"Arial" size:16.0],
                                                          NSForegroundColorAttributeName:[UIColor redColor],
                                                          NSShadowAttributeName:shadow}
                                                         forState:UIControlStateNormal];

Replace the segmnt_cntrl with your object of Segment Cotrol. Try this , It might helps you to achieve your over all goal.

Thanks

Updated @Babul Prabhakar's answer for Swift 3, because about half a dozen tiny things have changed:

UISegmentedControl.appearance().setTitleTextAttributes([NSForegroundColorAttributeName: UIColor.red as Any], for: .selected)

If you need to change the text color of the highlighted segment in iOS 7, here is a solution (took me awhile to find, but thanks to this post):

[[UISegmentedControl appearance] setTitleTextAttributes:@{NSForegroundColorAttributeName : [UIColor colorBlack]} forState:UIControlStateSelected];

There is no standard API to set the text attributes of a single segment in a UISegmentedControl. You can do the unrecommended approach of digging into the view hierarchy of the segmented control, find the desired UILabel (if any) and set that label's attributes. A better approach is to find (or write) a custom control that emulates a UISegmentedControl and allows for a single segment to be customized in the way you need.

Edit:

Actually, I was looking at this from the wrong point of view. My answer was based on trying to set attributes for a specific segment index. But in fact this can be achieved by setting the text attributes for the UIControlStateSelected state. Sorry for the confusion.
