I'm trying to change ActionBar text color like this.

<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light">
    <item name="actionBarStyle">@style/MyTheme.ActionBarStyle</item>
</style>


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

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

According to a lot of similar topics (another one) this should work, but none of that changes text color and also my ActionBar is becoming transparent when I try this. I can change it's text color by changing textColorPrimary in AppTheme, but it also changes a lot of stuff.

Also I'd like to see any links about how styling works in android cause it and it's hierarchy kinda confuses me

Why not you using ToolBar xml Like this 

 <android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
            android:id="@+id/videos_toolbar"
            style="@style/ToolBarTextStyle"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="?android:actionBarSize"
            android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
            android:background="@color/ToolBarColor"
            android:paddingRight="@dimen/_32sdp"
            android:textAlignment="center"
            app:titleTextColor="@color/ThemeColor">
