Answer 1

You can create a style which extends from actionbar sherlock to change color of you actionbar with other properties.

<style name="Theme.MyTheme" parent="Theme.Sherlock.ForceOverflow">
    <item name="actionBarStyle">@style/Widget.MyTheme.ActionBar</item>
    <item name="android:actionBarStyle">@style/Widget.MyTheme.ActionBar</item>
</style>

<style name="Widget.MyTheme.ActionBar" parent="Widget.Sherlock.ActionBar">
    <item name="android:background">#ff000000</item>
    <item name="background">#ff000000</item>
    <item name="android:textColor">#CC3232</item>
</style>

For TextColor only

<style name="YOURTHEME.ActionBar.TitleTextStyle" parent="TextAppearance.Sherlock.Widget.ActionBar.Title">
        <item name="android:textColor">@color/yourColor</item>
        <item name="textColor">@color/yourColor</item>
</style>

Last resort Solution

<item name="android:textColorPrimary">@color/yourColor</item>
