My BottomAppBar

<Page.BottomAppBar>
<CommandBar>
     <AppBarButton Name="MenuButton" Style="{StaticResource AppBarButtonStyle1}" Icon="AllApps" Click="MenuBtn_Click" Label="Menu"/>
</CommandBar>

Answer 1

In Order to change the foreground color of the app bar button you need to set the foreground of the command bar then it will work. The only thing in that is everything in the command bar namely the ellipsis, the buttons and the secondary commands will be of same color.

    <CommandBar Foreground=Green>
     <AppBarButton Name="MenuButton" Icon="AllApps" Click="MenuBtn_Click" Label="Menu"/>
    </CommandBar>

Hope this helps!
