Text color in prompt over SearchBar

Question

I want to have a text in the prompt over the SearchBar. I use the XIB to set the Search Bar. And as I want to have the SearchBar in a darker color than default, the text seems not to adapt to the change of color and is too dark to be readable. No setting in the xib to change text color what I can see. Anybody who knows to fix this? Not very important but would be nice because it looks nicer with the color I want.

searchBar = [[UISearchBar alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 44)];
searchBar.delegate = self;
searchBar.placeholder = @"Search";
searchBar.text = @"";
searchBar.autocorrectionType = UITextAutocorrectionTypeNo;
searchBar.backgroundColor = [UIColor colorWithRed:127/255.0f green:163/255.0f blue: alpha:1.0f];
