How to use attributed placeholder in iOS with Swift

I am having difficulty with the last argument in the function call..

        myTextField.attributedPlaceholder = NSAttributedString(string: "Wage Type", attributes: NSForegroundColorAttributeName: ??????)

I am not sure how to set the colour of the placeholder using this method.

So the initializer you're using looks like this:

init(string aString: String!, attributes attributes: [NSObject : AnyObject]!)

It is expecting a dictionary mapping attribute keys to values. Check out this document to find the expected key/value pairings. So if all you want to do is change the text color, you could try this:

let attributesDictionary = [NSForegroundColorAttributeName: UIColor.greenColor()]
myTextField.attributedPlaceholder = NSAttributedString(string: "Wage Type", attributes: attributesDictionary)

Let me know if you have any further questions regarding this!
