这是一个老话题，但对于未来的读者来说，使用工具栏使一切变得非常简单:

Toolbar toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.tool_bar);
toolbar.setTitle(R.string.app_name);
toolbar.setTitleTextColor(getResources().getColor(R.color.someColor));
setSupportActionBar(toolbar);

在操作栏上设置HTML字符串在SDK v21+的Material主题上不起作用

如果你想改变它，你应该在style.xml中设置主文本颜色

<resources>
    <!-- Base application theme. -->
    <style name="AppTheme" parent="android:Theme.Material.Light">
        <!-- Customize your theme here. -->
        <item name="android:textColorPrimary">@color/actionbar-text-color</item>
    </style>
</resources>    

我和你有同样的问题，是Holo。轻主题，但我想样式的动作栏的颜色，所以我需要改变文本的颜色以及标题和菜单。所以最后我去了git中心，查看源代码，直到我找到了该死的正确风格:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!-- For honeycomb and up -->
<resources>

    <style name="myTheme" parent="@android:style/Theme.Holo.Light">
        <item name="android:actionBarStyle">@style/myTheme.ActionBar</item>
        <item name="android:actionMenuTextColor">@color/actionBarText</item>
    </style>

    <style name="myTheme.ActionBar" parent="@android:style/Widget.Holo.Light.ActionBar">
        <item name="android:background">@drawable/actionbarbground</item>
        <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>

所以现在你要做的就是设置任何@color/actionBarText and@drawable/actionbarbground你想要!

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>"));

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。

        Android, so this is only necessary to support older
        Android versions.-->

  <!-- This would set the toolbar's background color,
