How to Change UIDatePicker Selected Color and Font Without Being Hacky in Swift?

Question

A lot of the answers I've seen to this question are either in Objective-C, hacky solutions, or solutions that don't answer the entire question.

I've been able to change the non-selected values colors using:

datePicker.setValue(UIColor.whiteColor(), forKeyPath: "textColor")

Is there a way to change the selected date's color and font from a UIDatePicker without being hacky?

No. The only known way to change the color of the selected date in Swift (along with the rest of the text) is, indeed, hacky because making font/text color alterations to UIDatePicker isn't supported by the Human Interface Guidelines.
