How to change the text color of all text in UIView?

I'm building an iOS app that features 2 themes (dark and light) where the background changes colours.

My problem now is the change of the text colour. How can I set the text colour of all labels to lightTextColor?

This is where I change the colours:

- (void)changeColor {
    NSUserDefaults *standardDefaults = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults];
    NSString *themeSetting = [standardDefaults stringForKey:@"themeKey"];
    if ([themeSetting isEqualToString:@"lightTheme"]) {
        self.view.backgroundColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
    } else {
        self.view.backgroundColor = [UIColor blackColor];
    }
}

The text colour change has to get in there somehow...

Loop through all the UIView's in self.view.subviews and check if it's of type UILabel. If it is, cast the view to a label and set the color.

- (void)changeColor {
    NSUserDefaults *standardDefaults = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults];
    NSString *themeSetting = [standardDefaults stringForKey:@"themeKey"];
    if ([themeSetting isEqualToString:@"lightTheme"]) {
        self.view.backgroundColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
    } else {
        self.view.backgroundColor = [UIColor blackColor];

        //Get all UIViews in self.view.subViews
        for (UIView *view in [self.view subviews]) {
            //Check if the view is of UILabel class
            if ([view isKindOfClass:[UILabel class]]) {
                //Cast the view to a UILabel
                UILabel *label = (UILabel *)view;
                //Set the color to label
                label.textColor = [UIColor redColor];
            }
        }

    }
}
