Override text color for buttons not working

Question

I created a custom theme for the button bar using buttonBarStyle on each button and buttonBarButtonStyle on the layout. It works fine, but I want to change the text color for the buttons, but it still accepts the default color (@android: color / primary_text_holo_light) My code is:

<style name="ButtonBarTheme" parent="AppTheme">
        <item name="buttonBarStyle">?android:attr/buttonBarStyle</item>
        <item name="buttonBarButtonStyle">?android:attr/buttonBarButtonStyle</item>
        <item name="android:textColor">#ffffff</item>
</style>

And for the layout:

<LinearLayout 
    style="?android:attr/buttonBarStyle"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:background="#0090cc"
    android:orientation="horizontal" >

    <Button
        android:id="@+id/bar_button1"
        android:layout_width="0dp"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_weight="1"
        style="@style/ButtonBarStyleButton"
        android:text="Button 1" />

    <Button
        android:id="@+id/bar_button2"
        android:layout_width="0dp"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_weight="1"
        style="?android:attr/buttonBarButtonStyle"
        android:text="Button 2" />

</LinearLayout>

AppTheme has a parent AppBaseTheme that has a parent android: Theme.Holo.Light.DarkActionBar.

What do I need to do to change the color of the button text?

EDIT: I tried applying color to each element and it works, but I want to change it by overriding the color in the style file (keep all design properties in one place, similar to CSS).
