You could use TextView setTag getTag to store original color before making changes  I would suggest to create an unique id resource in ids xml to differentiate other tags if you have  before setting to other colors  if  textView getTag R id txt default color     null        textView setTag R id txt default color  textView currentTextColor     Changing back  textView getTag R id txt default color  as  Int then       textView setTextColor this

It may not be possible in all situations  but why not simply use the value of a different random TextView that exists in the same Activity and that carries the colour you are looking for   txtOk setTextColor txtSomeOtherText getCurrentTextColor

There are defaults in the theme that Android uses if you don t specifiy a text color  It may be different colors in various Android UIs  e g  HTC Sense  Samsung TouchWiz  etc   Android has a  dark and  light theme  so the defaults are different for these  but nearly black in both of them in vanilla android   It is however good practice to define your primary text color yourself for to provide a consistent style throughout the devices   In code   getResources   getColor android R color primary text dark   getResources   getColor android R color primary text light     In xml   android color   android color primary text dark  android color   android color primary text light    As reference in vanilla Android the dark theme text color is  060001 and the in the light theme it s  060003 since API v1  See the android style class here

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
