This script changes the color of the text in the active layer to black, exports it as a PNG file with the specified name, then it changes the color of the text in the active layer to white, and exports it again as a PNG file with the specified name, and it repeats the same process with different colors (pink, blue, green, red) and save them as PNG files with different names. 

The Black, Blue, Green and Red are exported correctly. However white (which comes right after black) is exported as light blue and the pink file (which comes after white) is exported as the same color of the blue file.

Here’s the code: var textColor = new SolidColor();
textColor.rgb.hexValue = “000000”;
app.activeDocument.activeLayer.textItem.color = textColor;

var textLayerName = app.activeDocument.activeLayer.name;

var newName = prompt(“Enter a new name for the export”, “black_” + textLayerName);

var exportOptions = new ExportOptionsSaveForWeb();
exportOptions.format = SaveDocumentType.PNG;
exportOptions.quality = 100;
var file = new File("black " + newName + “.png”);
app.activeDocument.exportDocument(file, ExportType.SAVEFORWEB, exportOptions);

var textColor = new SolidColor();
textColor.rgb.hexValue = “FFFFFF”;
app.activeDocument.activeLayer.textItem.color = textColor;

var file2 = new File("white " + newName + “.png”);
app.activeDocument.exportDocument(file2, ExportType.SAVEFORWEB, exportOptions);

var textColor = new SolidColor();
textColor.rgb.hexValue = “fc82d8”;
app.activeDocument.activeLayer.textItem.color = textColor;

var file3 = new File("pink " + newName + “.png”);
app.activeDocument.exportDocument(file3, ExportType.SAVEFORWEB, exportOptions);

var textColor = new SolidColor();
textColor.rgb.hexValue = “63a8e7”;
app.activeDocument.activeLayer.textItem.color = textColor;

var file4 = new File("blue " + newName + “.png”);
app.activeDocument.exportDocument(file4, ExportType.SAVEFORWEB, exportOptions);

var textColor = new SolidColor();
textColor.rgb.hexValue = “0c6a27”;
app.activeDocument.activeLayer.textItem.color = textColor;

var file5 = new File("green " + newName + “.png”);
app.activeDocument.exportDocument(file5, ExportType.SAVEFORWEB, exportOptions);

var textColor = new SolidColor();
textColor.rgb.hexValue = " a80000";
app.activeDocument.activeLayer.textItem.color = textColor;

var file6 = new File("red " + newName + “.png”);
app.activeDocument.exportDocument(file6, ExportType.SAVEFORWEB, exportOptions);

First of all, I recommend putting some error-trapping code in so you can get some feedback and what is not working. Next, I'd check to confirm that the active layer is a text layer.

        try{
            var docRef = activeDocument;
            for(var i = 0; i < docRef.artLayers.length; i++){
                var LayerRef = docRef.artLayers[i];
                if(LayerRef.kind == LayerKind.TEXT){
                    var TextRef = LayerRef.textItem;
                    //do stuff here
                    }
                }
            }
        catch(e){alert(e + e.line);}

You also need to define colors properly. You define a variable as a new SolidColor.

var myColor = new SolidColor;
myColor.rgb.hexValue = "FFFFFF";
TextRef.color = myColor;

See if that works better.
