Can't solve MealActivity.java Nothing seems to work.

I have tried every possible combination of code that i can think of. I've read through the forums and tried every solution suggested by them and still nothing seems to work. I have no idea what, if anything, that I'm doing 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);
        foodLabel.setTextColor = (Color.BLUE);
        drinkLabel.setTextColor = (Color.GREY);


    }
}

I have since resolved the issue. Something that was rather difficult for me to spot was the spelling of "GRAY". Being from England I didn't spot an issue with the spelling "GREY" but Java speaks American.
