As I understand it, this is a simple android:actionMenuTextColor attribute android:actionMenuTextColor .

To use it correctly, you must create your own styles, for example:

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <resources> <style name="myTheme" parent="@android:style/Theme.Holo.Light"> <item name="android:actionMenuTextColor">@color/actionBarText</item> </style> <style name="myTheme.ActionBar" parent="@android:style/Widget.Holo.Light.ActionBar"> <item name="android:titleTextStyle">@style/myTheme.ActionBar.Text</item> </style> <style name="myTheme.ActionBar.Text" parent="@android:style/TextAppearance"> <item name="android:textColor">@color/actionBarText</item> </style> </resources> 

And then set the color @ color / actionBarText to the color of your choice. Here you can also define other values, for example, the background color.
