How to change the color of validator text in flutter?

Question

I have password textfield in flutter application, which has a validator associated with it, which is working fine. Below is the code for the same

String pwdValidator(String value) {

  if (value.length < 6) {
    return 'Password must be longer than 6 characters';
  } else {
    return null;
  }
}

final passwordField = TextFormField(
  decoration: InputDecoration(
    labelText: 'Password',

    prefixIcon: Icon(
      LineIcons.lock,
      color: Colors.white,
    ),
    enabledBorder: UnderlineInputBorder(
      borderSide: BorderSide(color: Colors.white),
    ),
    focusedBorder: UnderlineInputBorder(
      borderSide: BorderSide(color: Colors.white),
    ),
  ),
  keyboardType: TextInputType.text,
  obscureText: true,
  validator: pwdValidator,
  controller: pwdInputController,
);

You can see above the whole of the code. I have issue with this working code and that is I am not able to change the text color of the validator for the password,I mean when the user press the submit button and if password field is not sufficient size in length. how am i supposed to change the color for the same?

              // Validate returns true if the form is valid, otherwise false.
              if (_formKey.currentState.validate()) {}
