The default UIButton round rectangle is that dark blue. I want my cell's text in a table to match this blue color.

I am using this code but the only blue I can find is a bright blue...

cell.textLabel.textColor = [UIColor blueColor];

The system button text color for iOS 7 and above is:

Swift:

UIColor(red: 0, green: 0.478431, blue: 1, alpha: 1)

Objective-C:

[UIColor colorWithRed:0 green:0.478431 blue:1 alpha:1]

    This is the correct answer. UIColor* theColor = _yourButton.currentTitleColor; NSLog(@"title color: %@",theColor"); if further proof required.

    Proof in Swift: print(UIButton(type: .System).currentTitleColor)

    @arcadybob has the right idea. And if you don't already have a button object you can just do something like UIColor *systemTextColor = [[[UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeSystem] titleLabel] textColor]; cell.textLabel.textColor = systemTextColor;

Use this code to set the color using RGB value

cell.textLabel.textColor = [UIColor colorWithRed:.196 green:0.3098 blue:0.52 alpha:1.0];
