getTextColors is a method available for any textview. It should be useful when the entire textview has the same colour.

query("...", :getTextColors)

To get the background colour you could do something like query("...", :getBackground, :getColor)

If you need to do advanced computations, consider making a backdoor method.

I do, however, think this might be outside the scope of a UI test. Consider using a different approach of testing this instead of using a UI test framework. A simple unit test might suffice.
