You actually wanted to set your TEXT color but you did not even do that. Try this:

cell_center.textLabel.textColor = [UIColor blackColor];

Looks like the other answers are showing how to change the cell background color, not the label background color.

To change the label background color, use the following code.

[cell_center.textLabel setBackgroundColor:[UIColor grayColor]];

Let me know if this doesn't work for you and we'll troubleshoot some more.

Are you trying to set the text color? If so, try `[cell_center.textLabel setTextColor:[UIColor grayColor]];` – Baub Aug 02 '12 at 07:15
