You can apply different text color to the element loaded within the ItemTemplate by using the TextColor property with converter in .NET MAUI ListView (SfListView).

<ContentPage xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/dotnet/2021/maui"
             xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2009/xaml"
             x:Class="ListViewMaui.MainPage"
              xmlns:local="clr-namespace:ListViewMaui"          
            xmlns:syncfusion="clr-namespace:Syncfusion.Maui.ListView;assembly=Syncfusion.Maui.ListView"
             BackgroundColor="{DynamicResource SecondaryColor}">
 
    <ContentPage.BindingContext>
        <local:ContactsViewModel/>
    </ContentPage.BindingContext>
 
    <ContentPage.Resources>
        <ResourceDictionary>
            <local:ColorConverter x:Key="ColorConverter"/>
        </ResourceDictionary>
    </ContentPage.Resources>
 
    <ContentPage.Content>
        <syncfusion:SfListView x:Name="listView" ItemSize="60" ItemsSource="{Binding ContactsInfo}">
            <syncfusion:SfListView.ItemTemplate >
                <DataTemplate>
                    <Grid x:Name="grid">
                        …
                        <Image Source="{Binding ContactImage}" VerticalOptions="Center" HorizontalOptions="Center" HeightRequest="50" WidthRequest="50"/>
                        <Grid Grid.Column="1" RowSpacing="1" Padding="10,0,0,0" VerticalOptions="Center">
                            <Grid.RowDefinitions>
                                <RowDefinition Height="25"/>
                                <RowDefinition Height="20"/>
                            </Grid.RowDefinitions>
                            <Label  LineBreakMode="NoWrap" FontFamily="RobotoMedium" Grid.Row="0" TextColor="{Binding .,Converter={StaticResource ColorConverter},ConverterParameter={x:Reference Name=listView}}" Text="{Binding ContactName}"/>
                            <Label  Grid.Row="1" FontFamily="RobotoMedium" Grid.Column="0" TextColor="{Binding .,Converter={StaticResource ColorConverter},ConverterParameter={x:Reference Name=listView}}" LineBreakMode="NoWrap" Text="{Binding ContactNumber}"/>
                        </Grid>
                        <Label  Grid.Column="2" TextColor="{Binding .,Converter={StaticResource ColorConverter},ConverterParameter={x:Reference Name=listView}}" LineBreakMode="NoWrap" Text="{Binding ContactType}" FontFamily="RobotoMedium" VerticalOptions="CenterAndExpand" HorizontalOptions="CenterAndExpand"/>
                    </Grid>
                </DataTemplate>
            </syncfusion:SfListView.ItemTemplate>
        </syncfusion:SfListView>
    </ContentPage.Content>
</ContentPage>

C#

public class ColorConverter : IValueConverter
{
    public object Convert(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, CultureInfo culture)
    {
        if (value == null)
            return false;
        var itemdata = value as Contacts;
        if (itemdata.ContactType == "HOME")
            return Colors.RoyalBlue;
        else if (itemdata.ContactType == "WORK")
            return Colors.PaleGreen;
        else if (itemdata.ContactType == "MOBILE")
            return Colors.HotPink;
        else if (itemdata.ContactType == "OTHER")
            return Colors.DarkGoldenrod;
        else
            return Colors.BlueViolet;
    }
 
    public object ConvertBack(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, CultureInfo culture)
    {
        throw new NotImplementedException();
    }
