Set textcolor button back to default

I have a loginscreen. In this loginscreen I have a button that is by default disabled.

When the user has entered 4 numbers I enable the button and change the textcolor to green.
But when the 4 numbers are not the correct code I clear my edittext and disable my button again.

At the moment the textcolor of this disabled button is offcourse green. How can I set it back to the default color? 

public void onTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int before, int count) {
            if(s.length() >= maxLength)
            {
                btnOk.setEnabled(true);
                btnOk.setTextColor(Color.parseColor("#00B32D"));
            }

            else
            {
                btnOk.setEnabled(false);
            }


private void checkIfValid(String inputPin)
{
    if(inputPin.equals("0000"))
    {
        startActivity(new Intent(this, ShowScreenActivity.class));
        finish();
    }
    else
    {
        clearText();

      ====>   //Here i want to set my textcolor back to normal.  

        Toast.makeText(this, "Pincode foutief", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
    }
}

If you have another button that always maintains default color, you can set the color of your color-modified button to this other button to get back to default. The code might be...

btnOk.setTextColor(btnCancel.getTextColors());

This is a simple one line solution, but you have to be careful the other button color is not being modified for other reasons or this may not work.

Get the default color of Button using this code,

int DefaultButtonColor = btnOk.getTextColors().getDefaultColor();

If its not what you are looking for, then you can get Android Platform Resource Color using

something like,

android.R.color.secondary_text_dark

Back up your default color in onCreate();

defaultTextColor = btnOk.getTextColors().getDefaultColor();

Then set it back

btn.setTextColor(defaultTextColor);
