You can subclass the textbox and override the DrawRect function of the textbox. By subclassing, you can easily set this for each text field.

class CustomTextfield :UITextField {
 override func drawRect(rect: CGRect) {
self.attributedPlaceholder = NSAttributedString(string:self.placeholder != nil ? self.placeholder! : "", attributes:[NSForegroundColorAttributeName: UIColor.grayColor()])
} }
