Answer 1

If your spinner is using an ArrayAdapter, you can simply pass a custom layout for your spinner items. That layout can be a simple textView but with the android:textColor attribute.

MainActivity.java onCreate()

adapter = new ArrayAdapter<>(this, R.layout.spinner_custom_textcolor, data);
spinner.setAdapter(adapter);

spinner_custom_textcolor.xml

*Everything from the above layout except for android:textColor is a direct copy from android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item
