Change Color of Xamarin Forms Label in C# only, no XAML

I have this XAML code:

<StackLayout Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="0" Padding="15,10,20,10" HorizontalOptions="StartAndExpand" VerticalOptions="CenterAndExpand">
   <StackLayout.GestureRecognizers>
      <TapGestureRecognizer Tapped="tapFavorites" NumberOfTapsRequired="1" />
   </StackLayout.GestureRecognizers>
   <Label x:Name="faveLabel" FontFamily="FontAwesome" XAlign="Center" FontSize="23">
      <Label.Triggers>
         <DataTrigger TargetType="Label" Binding="{Binding Favorite}" Value="true">
            <Setter Property="TextColor" Value="Red" />
         </DataTrigger>
         <DataTrigger TargetType="Label" Binding="{Binding Favorite}" Value="false">
            <Setter Property="TextColor" Value="Gray" />
         </DataTrigger>
      </Label.Triggers>
   </Label>
</StackLayout>

In my C# code I am familar with setting the Text property of the label by simply specifying like this:

sampleLabel.Text = "ABC"

But this situation is different. Can someone tell me how I can change the color of a label from C# when the label is clicked on.
