Q:

Can I get the default hint color of an EditText?

Is there a way to get the hint color from an EditText? 
I need the color to set it as the text color of the EditText too

A:

I guess you could use this: 
final ColorStateList colors = editText.getHintTextColors();
editText.setTextColor(colors);

Note that hint color is actually a ColorStateList.
