How do I change the color of a UITextfield Placeholder in Swift 4?

Question

How do I change the color of a UITextfield Placeholder in Swift 4? Seems like a simple task but I am having some trouble figuring it out as I am new programming and Swift. I want to change the color programmatically.

        tf.placeholder = "Name"
        tf.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
        UIFont.systemFont(ofSize: 15, weight: UIFont.Weight.thin)
