How to access fragment ArrayList when using adapter?

Question

I'm working on my code to generate the list of colors to store it in the ColorList array. Now I want to get access to the color from the ColorList array, but I dont know how I can get access to the colorList array when I have created the list in the fragement while I am using the adapter.

Here is my InboxFragement code:

private void setupRecyclerView(@NonNull RecyclerView recyclerView) {
    mInboxAdapter = new InboxAdapter(getActivity(), mInbox);
    int itemsCount = recyclerView.getChildCount();

    for (int i = 0; i < itemsCount; i++) {
        View view = recyclerView.getChildAt(i);
        GradientDrawable gradientDrawable = (GradientDrawable) view.findViewById(R.id.tvIcon).getBackground();

        if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.N) {
            int intColor = gradientDrawable.getColor().getDefaultColor();
            String hexColor = Integer.toHexString(intColor).substring(2);
            colors = "#" + hexColor;
            colorList.add(index1, colors);
            index1++;
        }
    }
    recyclerView.setAdapter(mInboxAdapter);
    GridLayoutManager layoutManager = new GridLayoutManager(getContext(), 1);
    recyclerView.setLayoutManager(layoutManager);
    recyclerView.setHasFixedSize(true);
}

Here is the inboxApadater code:

    @Override
    public void onBindViewHolder(ViewHolder holder, int position) {
        inbox inbox = mInboxes.get(position);

        holder.subject.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @RequiresApi(api = Build.VERSION_CODES.N)
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                int idx = holder.getAdapterPosition();
                String id = mInboxes.get(idx).getId();
                String color = color_list.get(idx).toString();

                openEmailActivity(mailbox, id, color, short_name, subject1, from, from_email, datetime, isImportant);
        }
    });

Can you please show me an example how I can get access to the fragment colorList array when I am using the adapter to get the colorList array??

Thank you.

Edit: Here is my adapter:

public class InboxAdapter extends RecyclerView.Adapter<InboxAdapter.ViewHolder> {
    private static final String LOG_TAG = InboxAdapter.class.getSimpleName();
    private boolean reverseAllAnimations = false;
    private SparseBooleanArray selectedItems;
    public List<inbox> mInboxes;
    public ArrayList<String> colorList;

public InboxAdapter(Context mContext, List<inbox> inboxes, List<String> colorList) {
        this.mContext = mContext;
        mInboxes = inboxes;
    }

    @Override
    public InboxAdapter.ViewHolder onCreateViewHolder(ViewGroup parent, int viewType) {
        Context context = parent.getContext();
        LayoutInflater inflater = LayoutInflater.from(context);
        View contactView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.recyclerview_mail_item, parent, false);
        ViewHolder viewHolder = new ViewHolder(contactView);

        return viewHolder;
    }


    @Override
    public void onBindViewHolder(ViewHolder holder, int position) {
        inbox inbox = mInboxes.get(position);

        holder.subject.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @RequiresApi(api = Build.VERSION_CODES.N)
            @Override

                int idx = holder.getAdapterPosition();
                String id = mInboxes.get(idx).getId();
                String color = color_list.get(idx).toString();

        }
    });

            attachment = itemView.findViewById(R.id.attachment);
        }
    }


private int getRandomMaterialColor(String typeColor) {
        int returnColor = Color.GRAY;
        int arrayId = mContext.getResources().getIdentifier("mdcolor_" + typeColor, "array", mContext.getPackageName());

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