Answer 1

For a switch, add this to your styles.xml file:

<style name="x" parent="@android:style/TextAppearance.Small">
    <item name="android:textColor">#33CCFF</item>
</style>

Two options:

1. add this to your layout XML file:

   android:switchTextAppearance="@style/x"
   

2. add this to your Activity class after you've created an instance of your switch:

   switchInstance.setSwitchTextAppearance(getActivity(), R.style.x);
   

_{Note: path to styles.xml file: Project Folder > res > values > styles.xml}
