In swift 3.1

  let  DelevieryDateString = "●" + "This is a list item!"

    let DelevieryDateStr: NSMutableAttributedString =  NSMutableAttributedString(string: DelevieryDateString)

    DelevieryDateStr.addAttribute(NSForegroundColorAttributeName,
                                    value: UIColor.green, //color code what you want
                                    range: NSRange(
                                        location:0, // Find the location of the bullet and replace it
                                        length: 1))
lblitem.attributedText = DelevieryDateStr

Using " • " should work for you.
Check UILabel with bullet points and Bullet list in UITextView.
For combining text with bullet list you should use NSAttributedString. Here is an example you will be interested in.
