Your representation of color is AARRGGBB but is should be #AARRGGBB, you missed # in your color so it will throw an IllegalArgumentException exception.

So change like this,

timer.setTextColor(Color.parseColor("#FFE9DD33"));

Try create a colors.xml file inside values folder like that:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<resources>

    <color name="green">#32e76b</color>

    <color name="yellow">yor_yellow_color_code</color>

    <color name="red">yor_red_color_code</color>

</resources>

And set like this:

final CountDownTimer countDownTimer = new CountDownTimer(60000, 1000) 
        { 

        public void onTick(long millisUntilFinished) {
            x = millisUntilFinished/1000;
            timer.setText( x +  "    remaining left ");
            if ( 50< x ){
                timer.setTextColor(ContextCompat.getColor(your_context,R.color.green)}
            else{
                timer.setTextColor(ContextCompat.getColor(your_context,R.color.yellow);

            }
