What is default color for text in textview?
You can save old color and then use it to restore the original value. Here is an example:
ColorStateList oldColors = textView.getTextColors(); //save original colors
textView.setTextColor(Color.RED);
....
textView.setTextColor(oldColors);//restore original colors
But in general default TextView
text color is determined from current Theme applied to your Activity
.
Actually the color TextView is:
android:textColor="@android:color/tab_indicator_text"
or
#808080
