Answer 1

Set the toolbar color.

intentBuilder.setToolbarColor(ContextCompat.getColor(this, R.color.colorPrimary));

Answer 2

You can't change color of tittle programmatically in Chrome Custom Tab. The only way you can follow is Material Design Specifications.

If you have primary and primaryDark color of your app with dark shade, than Custom Tabs will use dark tittle, dark close button and dark overflow menu button.

If you have primary and primaryDark color with light shade, than Chrome Custom Tabs will use light tittle etc.

So, you must pay attention on number of you primary and primaryDark color.

It would be nice if there was a possibility to change the color of the text and statusbar. For example our app has different color settings so now there's no coherence between the app and Chrome Custom Tabs. That looks kinda bad.

Maybe there's a chance to get Chrome Custom Tabs colors for text and statusbar so that we could adjust it to our app (we have templates that user can choose).

Answer 4

As mentioned in one of the responses, the title text color is chosen automatically for the best contrast with the title color, there is no other way to set it.
