How can I change the font color of a UIBarButton item?

Question

I want to change the color to red.

Answer 1

I found a simpler way to just change the color of title: iOS7:

UIBarButtonItem *button = 
 [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithTitle:@"Title" 
                                  style:UIBarButtonItemStyleBordered 
                                 target:nil 
                                 action:nil];
[button setTitleTextAttributes:
          [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys: 
               [UIColor redColor], NSForegroundColorAttributeName,nil] 
                                            forState:UIControlStateNormal];

and prior iOS7:

UIBarButtonItem *button = 
  [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithTitle:@"Title" 
                                   style:UIBarButtonItemStyleBordered 
                                  target:nil 
                                  action:nil];
[button setTitleTextAttributes:
          [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys: 
               [UIColor redColor], UITextAttributeTextColor,nil] 
                                    forState:UIControlStateNormal];
