Just drag a color from any "color swatch" and drop it on the text  
layer's thumbnail preview in the Layers Dialog. "Swatches" are the  
little rectangles of color which appear in various dialog boxes  
throughout GIMP (such as described in  
http://docs.gimp.org/en/gimp-dialogs-content.html#gimp-color-dialog).  
You can drag-n-drop from any of them (the FG/BG colors in the main  
Toolbox are an obvious choice).
