I just looked at some UITextFields with placeholder text, both on a device and in the simulator, and it was dim but readable.
If you're hot to change the look then I don't recommend using -setValue:forKeyPath:. I don't know that it will get your app rejected but at the very least it's a fragile solution since you're depending on the naming of private ivars. (And they're especially private since they're not even listed in the header file.) A more maintainable solution would be to subclass UITextField and override -drawPlaceholderInRect:.
