Here's my code that creates the UIAlertController

    // Create the alert controller
    var alertController = UIAlertController(title: "Are you sure you want to call \(self.number)?", message: "", preferredStyle: .Alert)

    // Create the actions
    var okAction = UIAlertAction(title: "Call", style: UIAlertActionStyle.Default) {
        UIAlertAction in
        var url:NSURL = NSURL(string: "tel://\(self.number)")!
        UIApplication.sharedApplication().openURL(url)
    }

    var cancelAction = UIAlertAction(title: "Cancel", style: UIAlertActionStyle.Cancel) {
        UIAlertAction in

    }

    // Add the actions
    alertController.addAction(okAction)
    alertController.addAction(cancelAction)

    // Present the controller
    self.presentViewController(alertController, animated: true, completion: nil)

I can't figure out how to change the text color of the cancel and call actions. The title text is currently black and the cancel and call buttons are white. I'm making to make them all black for better visibility. Any ideas? Thanks!

After some trial and error, I found this worked. Hopefully this will help future swift newcomers!

alertController.view.tintColor = UIColor.blackColor()
