Try this:

ActionBar ab = getActionBar();
ab.setTitle(Html.fromHtml("<font color='#ffffff'>YourTitleHere </font>"));

This single line of code will do the job

getActionBar().setTitle(Html.fromHtml("<font color='#ff0000'>The Title</font>"));

This will set red color for your Action Bar title. :)

Try the following as an alternate way. change ActionBarStyle to

   <style name="MyTheme.ActionBarStyle" parent="@style/Widget.Sherlock.ActionBar">
     <item name="android:titleTextStyle">@style/MyTheme.ActionBar.TitleTextStyle</item>
     <item name="titleTextStyle">@style/MyTheme.ActionBar.TitleTextStyle</item>
   </style>
