iphone - Setting text-color on selected tab bar item

Question

I've created a tab bar application. I have four tabs; on the selected tab, I need to set the color red for tab title. How can i do that?

Thanks in advance.

Using the UIAppearance protocol (iOS5+) this is now possible, and actually pretty easy.

[UITabBarItem.appearance setTitleTextAttributes:@{
        UITextAttributeTextColor : [UIColor greenColor] } forState:UIControlStateNormal];

[UITabBarItem.appearance setTitleTextAttributes:@{
        UITextAttributeTextColor : [UIColor purpleColor] }     forState:UIControlStateSelected];

Please excuse the awful colors!
