How do I change the color of the text in a UIPicke

Question

I'm aware of the pickerView:viewForRow:forComponent:reusingView method, but when using the view it passes in reusingView: how do I change it to use a different text color? If I use view.backgroundColor = [UIColor whiteColor]; none of the views show up anymore.

- (UIView *)pickerView:(UIPickerView *)pickerView viewForRow:(NSInteger)row forComponent:(NSInteger)component reusingView:(UIView *)view
{
    UILabel *label = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, pickerView.frame.size.width, 44)];
    label.backgroundColor = [UIColor grayColor];
    label.textColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
    label.font = [UIFont fontWithName:@"HelveticaNeue-Bold" size:18];
    label.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:@" %d", row+1];
    return label;
}

// number Of Components
- (NSInteger)numberOfComponentsInPickerView:(UIPickerView *)pickerView
{
    return 1;
}

// number Of Rows In Component
- (NSInteger)pickerView:(UIPickerView *)pickerView numberOfRowsInComponent:   (NSInteger)component
{
    return 6;
}
