It is not possible by just setting a color code, you have to do it with custom images.For generating a navigation drawer indicator icon, use the Android Asset Studio. Insert the images in your res/drawable-XXXX folder (replace XXXX with hdpi, mdpi, etc.), under a name like custom_ic_drawer. If you followed the tutorial on the Android Developer portal for creating a navigation drawer, you created a drawer toggle with the following code:

mDrawerToggle = new ActionBarDrawerToggle(this, mDrawerLayout,
                R.drawable.ic_drawer, R.string.drawer_open, R.string.drawer_close)...

Replace this line with the following:

mDrawerToggle = new ActionBarDrawerToggle(this, mDrawerLayout,
                R.drawable.custom_ic_drawer, R.string.drawer_open, R.string.drawer_close)...

This way the toggle will have your custom icon. If you want to change the icon for the Up navigation (the grey caret on your left picture, see this question.
