How to change the UIPickerView text color?

The default UIPickerView color for text is black. There has been some updates to the language in Swift4. I have found my own solution and answered below.

Updated for Swift 5:

func pickerView(_ pickerView: UIPickerView, attributedTitleForRow row: Int, forComponent component: Int) -> NSAttributedString? {
    return NSAttributedString(string: parksPickerData[row], attributes: [NSAttributedString.Key.foregroundColor: UIColor.white])
}

I have a project with PickerViews and DatePickers (inside a TableViewCell), and I had to use a different sentence for each case.

For PickerViews:

func pickerView(_ pickerView: UIPickerView, attributedTitleForRow row: Int, forComponent component: Int) -> NSAttributedString? {
        let titleData = "data"
        let myTitle = NSAttributedString(string: titleData, attributes: [NSAttributedString.Key.foregroundColor: UIColor.lightGray])

        return myTitle
    }

For DatePicker:

datePicker.setValue(UIColor.lightGray, forKey: "textColor")

}

You could use:

pickerView.setValue(UIColor.yellow, forKeyPath: "textColor")

This will only change the color for the currently selected row.
