Creating Custom IBDesignable UITextField

I am trying to create a custom UITextField and set a custom bordercolor. I have created an IBInspectable property for borderColor as well and if i use the set and get methods for it, I am able to set it using Storyboard.

Now instead what i want to do is have a pre-defined border color value(which is the default value) so i am trying to call the didSet Method and do the setup there. I am not sure how to do that. The default value doesn't work and gives an error if I import in my storyboard in the line - 

self.layer.borderColor=(UIColor.KGColorPalette.entryBoxBorderColor as! CGColor)

Error in Storyboard

error: IB Designables: Failed to update auto layout status: The agent crashed

Code:

@IBDesignable class KGIBDesignableTextField: UITextField {

 @IBInspectable var borderColor: UIColor = UIColor.KGColorPalette.entryBoxBorderColor {
    didSet {
        setup()
    }
}


override func awakeFromNib() {
    super.awakeFromNib()
    setup()
}
override func layoutSubviews() {
    super.layoutSubviews()
    setup()
}
override func prepareForInterfaceBuilder() {
    super.prepareForInterfaceBuilder()
    setup()
}


func setup(){
    textColor = UIColor.KGColorPalette.textEntryFontColor
    self.layer.borderColor=(UIColor.KGColorPalette.entryBoxBorderColor as! CGColor)   
    backgroundColor=UIColor.KGColorPalette.entryBoxShadeFillColor
    font = UIFont(name: "Helvetica", size: 14)
    textAlignment = .left


}

}

If it would help, I checked my xcode Crash logs as well and it gave the below error -

Change this line to:

self.layer.borderColor = UIColor.KGColorPalette.entryBoxBorderColor.cgColor

from:

self.layer.borderColor=(UIColor.KGColorPalette.entryBoxBorderColor as! CGColor)

You cant typecast UIColor to CGColor. A forced cast like that would crash the application.
