Your MyTheme Parent is coming from Holo.Light and ActionBar.TitleTextStyle has a parent specified as AppCompat — Skynet, Dec 07 '15 at 12:19

Move to using Toolbars, they are much flexible than Actionbars — Ahmed Awad, Dec 07 '15 at 13:30

You can simply use:

ActionBar actionBar = getActionBar(); // or getSupportedActionBar() for lower version

actionBar.setTitle(Html.fromHtml("<font color=\"YOUR COLOR CODE\">" + YOUR CUSTOM TEXT + "</font>"));

Can you try this code?

 <style name="AppBaseTheme" parent="@style/Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
        <item name="actionBarStyle">@style/ActionBarStyle</item>
        <item name="colorPrimary">your_color</item>
    </style>

    <style name="ActionBarStyle" parent="@style/Widget.AppCompat.ActionBar.Solid">
        <item name="titleTextStyle">@style/TitleTextStyle</item>
    </style>

    <style name="TitleTextStyle" parent="@style/TextAppearance.AppCompat.Widget.ActionBar.Title">
        <item name="android:textColor">your_color</item>
    </style>
