How to set text color?

I did set text color to the right color so i don't know what to do. Please look at my code and tell what's wrong.

MealActivity.java 
public class MealActivity extends Activity {

    public TextView foodLabel;
    public TextView drinkLabel;

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_meal);

        foodLabel = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.foodTextView);
        drinkLabel = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.drinkTextView);
        RelativeLayout mealLayout = (RelativeLayout) findViewById(R.id.mealLayout);
        mealLayout.setBackgroundColor(Color.GREEN);
      drinkLabel.setTextColor(Color.GRAY;
      foodLabel.setTextColor(Color.BLUE);
    }
}
