Answer 1

When you set the tintColor property on a UIButton, the color is set on the highlighted state. So you could do this:

[button setTintColor:[UIColor lightGrayColor]];

However, lightGrayColor may not be the exact gray you're looking for. I'm not aware of a way to get reference to the exact selection-gray of a UITableViewCell. You might just have to play with [UIColor colorWithRed:green:blue:alpha:] to get it like you want it.

**Also not that the tintColor property has different implications in iOS 7, so beware of that if you use this code.
