Answer 1

Declare this in your AppTheme:

<item name="android:actionBarTabTextStyle">@style/tabtextcolor</item>

Then here is the style declaration:

<style name="tabtextcolor" parent="@android:style/Widget.Holo.Light.ActionBar.TabText">
    <item name="android:textColor">@android:color/white</item>
</style>

Answer 2

Use this in our theme to set the actionbar text color:

<item name="titleTextStyle">@style/ActionBar.CustomTitle</item>

<!-- ActionBar title text -->
    <style name="ActionBar.CustomTitle" parent="@style/TextAppearance.AppCompat.Widget.ActionBar.Title">
        <item name="android:textColor">@color/title_detail_color</item>
        <!-- The textColor property is backward compatible with the Support Library -->
    </style>

Sorry, this is for the case you are using AppCompat support library.

You could use the general:

<!-- ActionBar title text -->
    <style name="ActionBar.CustomTitle"
           parent="@style/TextAppearance.Holo.Widget.ActionBar.Title">
        <item name="android:textColor">@color/title_detail_color</item>
    </style>

Also, instead of Holo, you could try some other themes that match your current theme. You can also read more on the official documentation: https://developer.android.com/training/basics/actionbar/styling.html
