Change string color with NSAttributedString?

There is no need for using NSAttributedString. All you need is a simple label with the proper textColor. Plus this simple solution will work with all versions of iOS, not just iOS 6.

But if you needlessly wish to use NSAttributedString, you can do something like this:

UIColor *color = [UIColor redColor]; // select needed color
NSString *string = ... // the string to colorize
NSDictionary *attrs = @{ NSForegroundColorAttributeName : color };
NSAttributedString *attrStr = [[NSAttributedString alloc] initWithString:string attributes:attrs];
self.scanLabel.attributedText = attrStr;
