Question

I am adding the color here but it is not reflecting in the cell.

- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {

    static NSString *CellIdentifier = @"Cell";

    UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
    if (cell == nil) {
        cell = [[[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier] autorelease];
    }
    cell.textLabel.font =[UIFont systemFontOfSize:14];
    //cell.textLabel.textColor = theFontColor;//this does not work
    //cell.textLabel.textColor = [UIColor whiteColor];//this works
    // Configure the cell.

    [self configureCell:cell atIndexPath:indexPath];

    return cell;
}

EDIT

The comfigureCell was overriding the color. Sorry was a real noob error.

Answer 1

Have you defined somewhere theFontColor as a UIColor

You should do for example:

     UIColor *theFontColor = [UIColor colorWithRed:64.0f/255.0f green:58.0f/255.0f blue:43.0f/255.0f alpha:1.0f];

…and then use it
