iPhone iOS UILabel how to customize text color for UITableView detail text labels only?

Question

I'm working on an interface prototype and am using a storyboard to do so. Part of the prototype involves setting the detail UILabel for UITableView cells to a certain color. I would like to avoid having to manually recolor every label within a storyboard.

I found that I can use:

[[UILabel appearanceWhenContainedIn:[UITableViewCell class], nil] 
 setTextColor:[UIColor cyanColor]];

To change the appearance of labels within tableview cells. Is there a way to further refine this code to only apply to detail tableview labels? Currently it changes both textLabel and detailTextLabel of UITableViewCell.

Thank you!

You could trick around this by subclassing the cells in the detail view, then use

[[UILabel appearanceWhenContainedIn:[YOUR_UITableViewCell class], nil] 
 setTextColor:[UIColor other_colr]];
