Look for this code in the class FightMenuDisplay, and comment the part that chooses the color depending on type:

  def refreshButtonNames
    moves = (@battler) ? @battler.moves : []
    if !USE_GRAPHICS
      # Fill in command window
      commands = []
      moves.each { |m| commands.push((m && m.id>0) ? m.name : "-") }
      @cmdWindow.commands = commands
      return
    end
    # Draw move names onto overlay
    @overlay.bitmap.clear
    textPos = []
    moves.each_with_index do |m,i|
      button = @buttons[i]
      next if !@visibility["button_#{i}"]
      x = button.x-self.x+button.src_rect.width/2
      y = button.y-self.y+8
      moveNameBase = TEXT_BASE_COLOR
      if m.type>=0 # Comment this
        # NOTE: This takes a colour from a particular pixel in the button
        #       graphic and makes the move name's base colour that same colour.
        #       The pixel is at coordinates 10,34 in the button box. If you
        #       change the graphic, you may want to change/remove the below line
        #       of code to ensure the font is an appropriate colour.
        moveNameBase = button.bitmap.get_pixel(10,button.src_rect.y+34) # Comment this
      end # Comment this
      textPos.push([m.name,x,y,2,moveNameBase,TEXT_SHADOW_COLOR])
    end
    pbDrawTextPositions(@overlay.bitmap,textPos)
  end

This is the code from Gen 8 project, it might look different in v18.1, or v17.2.

        moveNameBase = button.bitmap.get_pixel(10,button.src_rect.y+34) # Comment this
      end # Comment this

It's this part :)

Thanks, I have to write black or I have to put a hex code?

Just comment it :)
That means, just put the sign "#" before each line.

I am trying to put hex code but it isn't working, What I have to do? You said that I need to comment, but what I have to comment?

No hex code or whatever.
Just find this part (EXACTLY this part):

      if m.type>=0
        # NOTE: This takes a colour from a particular pixel in the button
        #       graphic and makes the move name's base colour that same colour.
        #       The pixel is at coordinates 10,34 in the button box. If you
        #       change the graphic, you may want to change/remove the below line
        #       of code to ensure the font is an appropriate colour.
        moveNameBase = button.bitmap.get_pixel(10,button.src_rect.y+34)
      end

And replace this part with:

      #if m.type>=0
        # NOTE: This takes a colour from a particular pixel in the button
        #       graphic and makes the move name's base colour that same colour.
        #       The pixel is at coordinates 10,34 in the button box. If you
        #       change the graphic, you may want to change/remove the below line
        #       of code to ensure the font is an appropriate colour.
        #moveNameBase = button.bitmap.get_pixel(10,button.src_rect.y+34) # Comment this
      #end

Notice the new "#" before the "if", the "moveNameBase" and the "end".
