The solution posted by the author is half right for my situation. Need to keep in mind that the following events happen:

1. press down --> setHighlighted:YES animated: is called
2. press up --> setHighlighted:NO animated is called
3. set selection --> setSelected:YES animated is called

Knowing this, and depending on how you want the TableCell to look when highighted vs when selected will determine if you need to implement setHighlighted:animated:, setSelected:animated: or both methods.

For the look I want, I need to implement both methods.

Found it and it was a lot easier than I thought. Just need to use the UITableViewCell setHighlighted method.

- (void)setHighlighted:(BOOL)highlighted animated:(BOOL)animated {
    [super setHighlighted:highlighted animated:animated];

    if (highlighted) {
        [self.myTextView setTextColor:[UIColor whiteColor]];
    } else {
        [self.myTextView setTextColor:[UIColor blackColor]]; 
    }

}
