UIAlertAction with different color button text

Question

I am trying to create an UIAlertAction that has black color text for the first button and blue for the second. If I change the tint then all go black but i can't change the first button to black without it. Below is my code:

let alert = UIAlertController(title: "", message: "", preferredStyle: .actionSheet)
// alert.view.tintColor = UIColor.black

alert.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "First", style: .cancel, handler: nil))

alert.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "Cancel", style: .cancel, handler: nil))

self.present(alert, animated: true, completion: nil)

I don't think UIAlertController allows for different colors for different buttons except the style given i.e cancel, default etc — Rajan Maheshwari, Mar 14 '17 at 18:10
The color is based on the style - .cancel is black, .default is black, and .destructive is red. There's no way to change the color unless you create your own custom UIAlertController. — creeperspeak, Mar 14 '17 at 18:11
Not at all, UIAlertController buttons, like and some other PopUp controllers use colour from ```window.tint`` If you override this color then default colours change to your colour. — iTux, Jul 31 '18 at 15:59

I was able to do it by adding this or each color

let cancelAlert = UIAlertAction(title: "Cancel", style: UIAlertActionStyle.default, handler:nil)
                cancelAlert.setValue(UIColor.blue, forKey: "titleTextColor")
                alert.addAction(cancelAlert)

For those who are here to just change the color of an action button, you can change the style like for example .destructive for delete button:

 alert.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "Delete", style: .destructive, handler:{(UIAlertAction) in
