@DavinE try 

from objc_util import *
import ui
tf = ui.TextField()
t = 'test'
tf.placeholder = t
tf.present('sheet')

@on_main_thread
def x():
    o = ObjCInstance(tf)
    stro=ObjCClass('NSMutableAttributedString').alloc().initWithString_(tf.placeholder)
    color = UIColor.colorWithRed_green_blue_alpha_(1, 0.7, 0.7, 1)
    stro.addAttribute_value_range_(ns('NSColor'),color,NSRange(0,len(t)))
    o.textField().setAttributedPlaceholder_(stro)
#print(dir(o.textField()))
x()
