UILabel *lbl  = [[UILabel alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(20, 220, 200, 30)];

[lbl setText:@"Hello"];

[lbl setTextColor:[UIColor yellowColor]];

[lbl setBackgroundColor:[UIColor redColor]];

if you need to set image for your UILabel, you can try like this:

[lbl setBackgroundColor:[UIColor colorWithPatternImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@""]]];

[self.view addSubview:lbl];

If you want your textColor as Image then please do this

[lbl setTextColor:[UIColor colorWithPatternImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"button_select.png"]]];

If you want to replicate the image you linked to using a UILabel, you can do that by setting the label's text and backgroundColor. Then you useUIColor colorWithPatternImage:for the orange color pattern. Then use that color for the label'stextColor`.

UILabel is only for text. If you want an image, use an UIImageView.
