Use app:tabTextColor for default tab color and app:tabSelectedTextColor for selected tab color.

        <android.support.design.widget.TabLayout
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            app:tabTextColor="#000000"
            app:tabSelectedTextColor="#FFFFFF"/>
