找到了一种方法，可以很好地做到这一点，而无需在API >= 21上创建自己的布局。

它只会在操作栏中对文本和控件绘图进行着色。

希望对别人有用。

<!--Material design primary colors-->
<style name="AppBaseTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light">
    <item name="colorPrimary">@color/primary</item>
    <item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/primary_dark</item>
    <item name="colorAccent">@color/accent</item>
    <item name="android:navigationBarColor">@color/primary_dark</item>
    <item name="actionBarTheme">@style/AppBaseTheme.Toolbar</item>
</style>

<!--Action bar-->
<style name="AppBaseTheme.Toolbar" parent="Widget.AppCompat.ActionBar.Solid">
    <item name="android:textColorPrimary">@color/action_bar_text</item>
    <item name="colorControlNormal">@color/action_bar_text</item>
</style>

我发现了一种适用于任何类型的ActionBar (Sherlock, Compat和Native)的方法:

只需使用html设置标题，并指定文本颜色。例如，要将ActionBar文本颜色设置为红色，只需这样做:

getActionBar()/* or getSupportActionBar() */.setTitle(Html.fromHtml("<font color=\"red\">" + getString(R.string.app_name) + "</font>"));

你也可以使用红色十六进制代码#FF0000来代替单词red。如果你对此有问题，请参阅Android Html.fromHtml(String)不适用于<font color='#'>text</font>。

此外，如果你想使用颜色资源，这段代码可以用来获得正确的HEX字符串，并在需要时删除alpha(字体标签不支持alpha):

int orange = getResources().getColor(R.color.orange);
String htmlColor = String.format(Locale.US, "#%06X", (0xFFFFFF & Color.argb(0, Color.red(orange), Color.green(orange), Color.blue(orange))));

试着在Activity的onCreate中添加这个。适用于几乎所有Android版本。

 actionBar.setTitle(Html.fromHtml("<font color='#ffff00'>Your Title</font>"));  

or

getSupportActionBar().setTitle(Html.fromHtml("<font color='#ffff00'>Your Title</font>"));

最直接的方法是在styles.xml中完成。

谷歌的模板styles.xml当前生成以下内容:

<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light">
    <!-- Customize your theme here. -->
    <item name="colorPrimary">@color/colorPrimary</item>
    <item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
    <item name="colorAccent">@color/colorAccent</item>
</style>

如果你在结束标签之前再添加一行，如图所示，这将改变文本的颜色，使其与Dark ActionBar相同:

<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light">
    <!-- Customize your theme here. -->
    <item name="colorPrimary">@color/colorPrimary</item>
    <item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
    <item name="colorAccent">@color/colorAccent</item>
    <item name="actionBarTheme">@style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark.ActionBar</item>
</style>

如果你想自定义颜色为其他东西，你可以在colors.xml中指定自己的颜色，甚至使用Android的内置颜色使用Android:textColorPrimary属性:

<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light">
    <!-- Customize your theme here. -->
    <item name="colorPrimary">@color/colorPrimary</item>
    <item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
    <item name="colorAccent">@color/colorAccent</item>
    <item name="actionBarTheme">@style/AppTheme.AppBarOverlay</item>
</style>


<style name="AppTheme.AppBarOverlay" parent="ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark.ActionBar">
    <item name="android:textColorPrimary">@android:color/darker_gray</item>
</style>

注意:这将改变标题的颜色，以及在动作栏中显示的任何菜单项的标题。

对于Android 5(棒棒糖)，你必须使用Android:actionBarPopupTheme来设置溢出菜单的textColor。
