Answer 1

Found the answer in a different question on StackOverflow: UIButton color issues

[button1 setTitleColor:[UIColor redColor] forState:UIControlStateHighlighted];

This is if you can work without creating a Label and adding it as subview as you mention above.

Answer 2

For SelectedColor

[yourButton setTitleColor:[UIColor purpleColor] forState:UIControlStateSelected];

For HighlightedColor

[yourButton setTitleColor:[UIColor orangeColor] forState:UIControlStateHighlighted];

Answer 3

you can add target for UIControlStateHighlighted state of UIButton like

[button1 addTarget:self action:@selector(buttonHighlighted:) forControlEvents:UIControlStateHighlighted];

and in buttonHighlighted method you can change the color of your label's text

- (void) buttonHighlighted:(id)sender
{
  //code here
}

Hope it gives you an idea.
