Obtain Colors and Styles for Views in an Activity?

On Activity how do you obtain the original colors and styles for a View (or Views)? What I am doing is field validation, where I paint the field headers to Color.RED if they did not fill out the field. But before I do this I would like to find the original color or style, for instance white (Color.WHITE) if it was original white, so I can paint that field back to original color if the user corrects the validation. Example snippet of what I speaking of is below. How and where would I be able to accomplish this?

Using java Syntax Highlighting

public class ApplicantActivity extends Activity {
 
        .
 
    private TextView firstname;
 
        .
 
    public void onCreate(Bundle icicle) {
 
        super.onCreate(icicle);
 
        setContentView(R.layout.applicant);
 
        firstname = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.firstname);
 
        .
 
    }
 
    protected void resetErrorFields() {
 
        .
 
        firstname.setTextColor(Color.WHITE);
 
        .
 
    }
 
    private OnClickListener saveClickListener = new OnClickListener() {
 
        public void onClick(View v) {
 
        .
 
        String aFirstname = firstname.getText().toString().trim();
 
        resetErrorFields();
 
        .
 
    }
 
}
