Is there a way to pass color of view or button between activity and another?

"the user who will Choose Color"

Do this....

get the id of the selcted color
pass that color to the activity2
load that color from resources

Activity 1

 Intent pass = new Intent( );
 Bundle extras = new Bundle();
 extras.putInt("colorResourceName", colorResourceName);
 pass.putExtras(extras);
 startActivity(pass);

Activity 2

public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
     super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
     Bundle data = getIntent().getExtras();
     int colorResourceName = data.getIntExtra("colorResourceName", -1);

}

Following Xoce's response, you can also do something like this if you don't have the color defined as a resource or somehow just know it's hex code:

Activity 1

Intent pass = new Intent( );
Bundle extras = new Bundle();
extras.putInt("colorHexCode", colorHexCode); //Example of color code: "#FFFFFF"
pass.putExtras(extras);
startActivity(pass);

Activity 2

public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
 super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
 Bundle data = getIntent().getExtras();
 String colorHexCode = data.getStringExtra("colorHexCode");
 TextView textView = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.my_text_view);
 textView.setTextColor(Color.parseColor(colorHexCode));
}
