Trying to set different text color for each segment in UISegmentedControl

I'll glad for help.

I know how to change the text for selected state using attributedString, but I can't find a way to set a unique text color(or even background color) for each segment.

Any ideas how to do it?

To create unique background color for selected segment you need to create action for UISegmentControl and then based on the index set the color.

@IBAction func segmentChanged(_ sender: UISegmentedControl) {
        if sender.selectedSegmentIndex == 0 {
            sender.selectedSegmentTintColor = UIColor.red
        } else {
            sender.selectedSegmentTintColor = UIColor.blue
        }
    }

Edit:

So you can try to work with subviews of UISegmentControl like that:

@IBOutlet weak var segment: UISegmentedControl! {
        didSet {
            for (index, view) in segment.subviews.enumerated() {
                if index == 0 {
                    view.subviews.forEach{ label in
                        (label as! UILabel).textColor = UIColor.red
                    }
                } else {
                    view.subviews.forEach{ label in
                        (label as! UILabel).textColor = UIColor.blue
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }
