How to set the text color of an SKLabelNode?

I have the following code, which doesn't seem to set the text color of scoreLabelNode to red.

func setUpScore() -> Void {
    scoreLabelNode = SKLabelNode(fontNamed:"MarkerFelt-Wide")
    scoreLabelNode.color = UIColor(red: CGFloat(1.0), green: CGFloat(0.0), blue: CGFloat(0.0), alpha: CGFloat(1.0)) //How do I set this to red?
    scoreLabelNode.position = CGPointMake( CGRectGetMidX( self.frame ), 0.5)
    scoreLabelNode.zPosition = 100
    scoreLabelNode.text = String(score)
    self.addChild(scoreLabelNode)
}

How would I change the second line to get the score to display as red?

Try (note the 'fontColor', not 'color')

 scoreLabelNode.fontColor = UIColor.redColor()

UIColor - UIColor(red:R, green: G, blue: B, alpha: A)

R,G,B are values between 0.0 to 1.0. When A stand to alpha(as well between 0.0 to 1.0).

Use this site to calculate the needed RGBA values : http://www.colorpicker.com/

As for red, just change it to 

scoreLabelNode.color = UIColor(red: 255/255, green: 0, blue: 0, alpha: 1)

OR 

scoreLabelNode.color = UIColor.redColor()

Try replacing 

scoreLabelNode.color

To

**scoreLabelNode.fontColor**
