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;

Use something like this (Not compiler checked)

NSMutableAttributedString *string = [[NSMutableAttributedString alloc]initWithString:self.text.text];
NSRange range=[self.myLabel.text rangeOfString:texts[sliderValue]]; //myLabel is the outlet from where you will get the text, it can be same or different

NSArray *colors=@[[UIColor redColor],
                  [UIColor redColor],
                  [UIColor yellowColor],
                  [UIColor greenColor]
                 ];

[string addAttribute:NSForegroundColorAttributeName 
               value:colors[sliderValue] 
               range:range];           

[self.scanLabel setAttributedText:texts[sliderValue]];
