Can't get UILabel text shadow to be any color but gray... help!

Question

So I'm setting UILabel.shadowColor to a non-gray color, but the shadow always appears as opaque 50% gray (or so). For example, I tried setting the shadow to red and I still see gray. Has anyone else seen this? (This is the UILabel inside a custom nav bar back button)

Are you sure you are not confusing backgroundColor with shadowColor?
