Try this out:

myLabel.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];

--or--

myLabel.backgroundColor = [UIColor whateverColorYouWant];

Also, check out the UILabel Class Reference

UILabel has a background property it inherits from UIView, set it to clear:

@property(nonatomic, copy) UIColor *backgroundColor

mContact.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
