Swift how to set default text color for UISegmentedControl?

I want to set colors for the text and background of UISegmentedControl. So I've four colors to set, the default and selected color of the text and background.

I can use tintColor and backgroundColor to set the background. But how to set the default text color, not same as the tint color?

Note: here is swift3 not the older language. I'm a beginner of ios, I just start from the swift3, have no experience of the former language.

Any help will be appreciated.

Here is a quick way to handle it on storyboard:

extension UISegmentedControl {
@IBInspectable var textSelectedColor: UIColor {
    get {
        return self.textSelectedColor
    }
    set {
        self.setTitleTextAttributes([NSAttributedString.Key.foregroundColor: newValue], for: .selected)
    }
}

@IBInspectable var textNormalColor: UIColor {
    get {
        return self.textNormalColor
    }
    set {
        self.setTitleTextAttributes([NSAttributedString.Key.foregroundColor: newValue], for: .normal)
    }
}}

Here is the workable one:

// default background color
customSC.backgroundColor = UIColor(red:65/255.0, green:140/255.0, blue:218/255.0, alpha: 1.0)

// selected background color
customSC.tintColor = UIColor(red:65/255.0, green:140/255.0, blue:218/255.0, alpha: 1.0)

// selected title text color
customSC.setTitleTextAttributes([NSForegroundColorAttributeName: UIColor.white], for: UIControlState.selected)

// default title text color
customSC.setTitleTextAttributes([NSForegroundColorAttributeName: UIColor.darkGray], for: UIControlState.normal)

Swift 5+ code to update text color for your UISegmentedControl (sc in this example)

// selected option color
sc.setTitleTextAttributes([.foregroundColor: UIColor.green], for: .selected)

// color of other options
sc.setTitleTextAttributes([.foregroundColor: UIColor.white], for: .normal)

Swift 4.2 +

segmentedControl.tintColor = .black //background
segmentedControl.setTitleTextAttributes([NSAttributedString.Key.foregroundColor: UIColor.white], for: .selected)
segmentedControl.setTitleTextAttributes([NSAttributedString.Key.foregroundColor: UIColor.red], for: .normal)
