document.getElementById('gallery').getElementsByTagName("title").style.color="#ffffff";

is this possible?

.getElementsByTagName("title") returns a collection (it may be length zero, if there are none).

If you want to change the color of all the elements you need to loop through the collection:

var titles = document.getElementById('gallery').getElementsByTagName("title");
for(var k=0;k<titles.length;k++)
  titles[k].style.color = '#ffffff';

This is a very poor example, because (X)HTML docs should contain only one <title> element.
The one in the <head>.

They're not tags, but attributes - that's fundamental.
You can't set the style of an attribute.
What is it that you want to do?

there is an excellent example of a dhtml tooltip manager which styles the titel attribute by means of DOM and javascript. see example.

Very nice, but it isn't "styling the title attribute".
