Android
Since Xamarin.Forms 3.1 a TabbedPage.BarSelectedItemColor property has been introduced and we can simply use it to achieve our goal.
XAML:
<TabbedPage
xmlns:android="clr-namespace:Xamarin.Forms.PlatformConfiguration.AndroidSpecific;assembly=Xamarin.Forms.Core"
android:TabbedPage.BarSelectedItemColor="Red">
</TabbedPage>
C#:
Xamarin.Forms.PlatformConfiguration.AndroidSpecific.TabbedPage.SetBarSelectedItemColor(%tabbedPage%, %color%);
iOS
