Incorrect display of the menu item

When I add to my JMenuItem new Icon or ImageIcon, then the text becomes the same color as the icon.

Example Screenshot

My code: 

JMenuButton red = new JMenuItem("Red", getIcon(Color.RED));

private Icon getIcon(Color color){
    return new Icon() {

        @Override
        public void paintIcon(Component c, Graphics g, int x, int y) {
            Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D)g;
            g2.translate(x,y);
            g2.setPaint(color);
            g2.setRenderingHint(RenderingHints.KEY_ANTIALIASING,
                    RenderingHints.VALUE_ANTIALIAS_ON);
            g2.fillOval( 0, 2, 10, 10 );
            g2.translate(-x,-y);
        }

        @Override
        public int getIconWidth() {
            return 14;
        }

        @Override
        public int getIconHeight() {
            return 14;
        }

    };
}

Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D)g;

Don't just cast the Graphics object to a Graphics2D.

Any changes you make to the Graphics2D object will be retained by the Graphics object.

Instead create a separate Graphics object that you can temporarily customize:

Graphpics2D g2 = (Graphics2D)g.create();

//  do custom painting

g2.dispose();

Now the changes will only apply to the custom painting code.
