I have a simple code that will help to get an instance of both the textview of Snackbar, after that you can call all methods that are applicable on a textview.

Snackbar snackbar = Snackbar.make( ... )    // Create Snack bar


snackbar.setActionTextColor(getResources().getColor(R.color.white));  //if you directly want to apply the color to Action Text

TextView snackbarActionTextView = (TextView) snackbar.getView().findViewById( android.support.design.R.id.snackbar_action );

snackbarActionTextView.setTextColor(Color.RED);  //This is another way of doing it

snackbarActionTextView.setTypeface(snackbarActionTextView.getTypeface(), Typeface.BOLD);

//Below Code is to modify the Text in Snack bar
TextView snackbarTextView = (TextView) snackbar.getView().findViewById(android.support.design.R.id.snackbar_text);
snackbarTextView.setTextSize( 16 );
snackbarTextView.setTextColor(getResources().getColor(R.color.white));

You can use this library: https://github.com/SandroMachado/restaurant

If you are in Kotlin, you can create an extension :

fun Snackbar.withTextColor(color: Int): Snackbar {
    val tv = this.view.findViewById(android.support.design.R.id.snackbar_text) as TextView
    tv.setTextColor(color)
    return this
}

Usage :

yourSnackBar.withTextColor(Color.WHITE).show()
