why not use the xcolor package?

Normally

\textcolor{black}{text}

should do what you want

for the whole itemize

{\color{black}\begin{itemize}
    \item
    \item
\end{itemize}}

should do the trick.

I typed \usepackage{xcolor} in the preable and used your second suggestion to no avail. – user25318 Jan 31 '13 at 19:46

The second option does not work in beamer. – Christoph90 Oct 08 '20 at 13:40
