Change the color of the message UIAlertController in Swift

Question

I want to change the color of message in UIAlertController in swift. The default is black I want to change it red.

My UIAlertController looks like follows:

alert = UIAlertController(title: "", message: "Invalid Name", preferredStyle: UIAlertControllerStyle.Alert)
alert.view.tintColor = UIColor.blackColor()
alert.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "OK", style: UIAlertActionStyle.Default, handler:{ (UIAlertAction)in
}))
self.presentViewController(alert, animated: true, completion: {
    println("completion block")
})

I want to change the color of Invalid Name in the above alert box.

You can use attributedStrings to create the color, font, size, and style that you want, and then set the string as the title.

EDIT: Updated with example

let attributedString = NSAttributedString(string: "Invalid Name", attributes: [
  NSParagraphStyleAttributeName: paragraphStyle,
  NSFontAttributeName : UIFont.systemFontOfSize(15),
  NSForegroundColorAttributeName : UIColor.redColor()
])
let alert = UIAlertController(title: "Title", message: "", preferredStyle: .Alert)

alert.setValue(attributedString, forKey: "attributedMessage")

let cancelAction = UIAlertAction(title: "Cancel",
    style: .Default) { (action: UIAlertAction!) -> Void in
}

presentViewController(alert,
    animated: true,
    completion: nil)
