What is the easiest way to change the color of the string on a NSButton where string was set through Interface Builder?

You might be able to pull it off using NSFontDescriptor with NSFontColorAttribute, and then get an NSFont object to use on the button.

However...

It might not be an accident that this isn't easy. Drawing colored text over one of the stock buttons could look horrendously bad. They're designed for black text.

If you want a custom appearance, your best bet is to create an NSButtonCell subclass and do custom drawing.
