Please set text color for each UITextView which you created dynamically :

SomeTextView.textColor = [UIColor redColor];

Hope This will help you !!!

UITextView *view = [[UITextView alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(50, 100, 100, 100)];
view.textColor = [UIColor redColor];
view.userInteractionEnabled = YES;
[self.view addSubview:view];

UITextView *txtView = [[UITextView alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(10, 100, 100, 100)];
txtView.textColor = [UIColor blueColor];
[self.view addSubview:txtView];

If u want to display the colour for particular words in textview u can try

NSMutableAttributedString *stringText = [[NSMutableAttributedString alloc] initWithString:@"This is awesome"];

//Green color for the first four characters.

[stringText addAttribute: NSForegroundColorAttributeName value: [UIColor greenColor] range: NSMakeRange(0, 4)];

// Sets the font color of last four characters to yellow.

[stringText addAttribute: NSForegroundColorAttributeName value: [UIColor yellowColor] range: NSMakeRange(14, 10)];

You can achieve this by doing it programatically. Use NSMutableAttributedString

NSMutableAttributedString *stringText = [[NSMutableAttributedString alloc] initWithString:@"This is awesome"];

//Green color for the first four characters.
[stringText addAttribute: NSForegroundColorAttributeName value: [UIColor greenColor] range: NSMakeRange(0, 4)];

// Sets the font color of last four characters to yellow.
[stringText addAttribute: NSForegroundColorAttributeName value: [UIColor yellowColor] range: NSMakeRange(14, 10)];

Set this text to your UITextView. It should work. Also make sure if text changes dynamically you need to care full with NSMakeRange.

Are u still facing Problem...? – remyr3my Jul 12 '16 at 08:36 — remyr3my, Jul 12 '16 at 08:36

Simplest way for changing textview text color is

UITextView *txtviewTextColor = [[UITextView alloc]init];
txtviewTextColor.frame = CGRectMake(10, 30, 200, 100);
txtviewTextColor.scrollEnabled = YES;
txtviewTextColor.textColor =[UIColor greenColor];
txtviewTextColor.userInteractionEnabled = YES;
[self.view addSubview:txtviewTextColor];
