Better late than never.

My new response if the real purpose is to get a random material color for a type of color.

Add the array.xml file (from @8m47x)

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>

        <item name="grey_1000w" type="color">#ffffff</item>
    </array>

</resources>

Add the following method to pick a random color from a parent type

private int getMatColor(String typeColor)
{
    int returnColor = Color.BLACK;
    int arrayId = getResources().getIdentifier("mdcolor_" + typeColor, "array", getApplicationContext().getPackageName());

    if (arrayId != 0)
    {
        TypedArray colors = getResources().obtainTypedArray(arrayId);
        int index = (int) (Math.random() * colors.length());
        returnColor = colors.getColor(index, Color.BLACK);
        colors.recycle();
    }
    return returnColor;
}

Usage

txt.setTextColor(getMatColor("500"));

By the way, I sorted array.xml by hand :) I asked a question on stackoverflow for sorting but couldn't find a useful answer..Arda

If you want something working with older SDK you can try this way :

TypedArray colors = getResources().obtainTypedArray(R.array.loading_colors);
int index = (int) (Math.random() * colors .length());
int color = colors.getColor(index, Color.BLACK);
textView.setTextColor(color);
colors.recycle();

You need to declare your colors in a arrays.xml :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>

    <array name="loading_colors">
        <item name="red_50" type="color">#fde0dc</item>

But be careful it's probably less efficient than reflection.

Yes, that's cool, but not exactly what a tried to get.. I tried to receive one color out of the (for example) 100-series. See my answer hereArda

Using reflection you can retrieve all java.awt.Color constants, some 148 colors with names

for (Field field : Color.class.getDeclaredFields()) {
    int modifiers = field.getModifiers();
    if (Modifier.isPublic(modifiers) && Modifier.isStatic(modifiers)
            && Modifier.isFinal(modifiers) && field.getType() == Color.class) {
        String colorName = field.getName().toLowerCase(Locale.US);
        Color color = Color.valueOf(colorName);
        System.out.printf("- %s -> %s%n", colorName, color);
    }
}

This uses reflection, and assumes that the constant name is a human readable name.

[139] thistle -> 0xd8bfd8ff
[140] tomato -> 0xff6347ff
[141] turquoise -> 0x40e0d0ff
[142] violet -> 0xee82eeff
[143] wheat -> 0xf5deb3ff
[144] white -> 0xffffffff
[145] whitesmoke -> 0xf5f5f5ff
[146] yellow -> 0xffff00ff
[147] yellowgreen -> 0x9acd32ff

So add the colors in a list, and randomly pick one with random.nextInt(colors.size()).

Nice idea, but I don't want to create a list manually and pick then. If Google used a algorithm to create this table, I want to use that.Arda

Here is a class I wrote. You can create your own material color palette or get a random color.

Example uses:

// get a random color.
int randomColor = MaterialColorPalette.getRandomColor("100");

// create your own material color palette
MaterialColorPalette myCustomPalette = new MaterialColorPalette(Color.CYAN);
int my200Color = myCustomPalette.getColor("200");

MaterialColorPalette.java

  public int getColor(String key) {
    return palette.get(key);
  }

  public void putColor(String key, int color) {

}

Just copy the class into your project and add the package declaration.

As Tibox described:

1. Add the Material Colors to array.xml:

2. Add getMDcolor() to your class:

private int getMDcolor(String mdcolor) {
    int returnColor = 0;
    String[] mdcolors = new String[]{
            "mdcolor_50",
