android.R.provides these colors.

If you want to use the Color class, you need some java code : 

view.setBackgroundColor( Color.CYAN );

Why are you setting a color to android:drawable. Are you trying to set a background? Because then you'd use:

android:background="@android:color/black"

Although in my editor I don't see cyan as an option. If you just cntrl+space in the xml field, you can pick @android:color/ and then pick a color. You can always make your own in the colors.xml file though :)
