I want to change Place holder color from user attributes (interface builder) because i dont want to subclass my UITextfield etc... i searched on internet and found this "_placeholderLabel.textColor" Yes this works well Programmatically [self.tfEmail setValue:[UIColor whiteColor] forKeyPath:@"_placeholderLabel.textColor"]; but i want to use it in user attributes in interface builder.

You can change Font you can change any property that exists. No need to do it programatically.

Without USING USER ATTRIBUTES
self.txtField.attributedPlaceholder = PlaceHolderAttributedString(@"ABCDEF"); where PlaceHolderAttributedString is a macro defined as
#define PlaceHolderAttributedString(placeHolderText) [[NSAttributedString alloc] initWithString:placeHolderText attributes:@{NSForegroundColorAttributeName:ColorTextFieldPlaceHolder}] USING USER ATTRIBUTES
placeholderLabel.textColor

in swift:
one_textfield.setValue(UIColor.redColor(), forKeyPath: "_placeholderLabel.textColor")
