User · Answer

The document suggests that it takes the  color accent by default  But we can override it on code by using  fab setBackgroundTintList ColorStateList    Also remember    The minimum API version to use this library is 15 so you need to update it  if you dont want to do it then you need to define a custom drawable and decorate it

With the Material Theme and the material components FloatingActionButton by default it takes the color set in styles xml attribute colorSecondary    You can use the app backgroundTint attribute in xml     lt com google android material floatingactionbutton FloatingActionButton                   app backgroundTint             app srcCompat   drawable ic plus 24   gt     You can use fab setBackgroundTintList    You can customize your style using the  lt item name  backgroundTint  gt  attribute      lt  -- lt item name  floatingActionButtonStyle  gt  style Widget MaterialComponents FloatingActionButton lt  item gt  -- gt     lt style name  MyFloatingActionButton  parent   style Widget MaterialComponents FloatingActionButton  gt       lt item name  backgroundTint  gt  00f lt  item gt       lt  -- color used by the icon -- gt       lt item name  tint  gt  color     lt  item gt     lt  style gt     starting from version 1 1 0 of material components you can use the new materialThemeOverlay attribute to override the default colors only for some components       lt style name  MyFloatingActionButton  parent   style Widget MaterialComponents FloatingActionButton  gt       lt item name  materialThemeOverlay  gt  style MyFabOverlay lt  item gt     lt  style gt      lt style name  MyFabOverlay  gt       lt item name  colorSecondary  gt  color custom2 lt  item gt       lt  -- color used by the icon -- gt       lt item name  colorOnSecondary  gt  color     lt  item gt     lt  style gt

Vijet Badigannavar s answer is correct but using ColorStateList is usually complicated and he didn t tell us how to do it  Since we often focus on changing View s color in normal and pressed state  I m going to add more details    If you want to change FAB s color in normal state  you can just write  mFab setBackgroundTintList ColorStateList valueOf your color in int     If you want to change FAB s color in pressed state  thanks for Design Support Library 22 2 1  you can just write  mFab setRippleColor your color in int     By setting this attribute  when you long-pressed the FAB  a ripple with your color will appear at your touch point and reveal into whole surface of FAB  Please notice that it won t change FAB s color in normal state  Below API 21 Lollipop   there is no ripple effect but FAB s color will still change when you re pressing it    Finally  if you want to implement more complex effect for states  then you should dig deeply into ColorStateList  here is a SO question discussing it  How do I create ColorStateList programmatically    UPDATE  Thanks for  Kaitlyn s comment  To remove stroke of FAB using backgroundTint as its color  you can set app borderWidth  0dp  in your xml

The point we are missing is that before you set the color on the button  it s important to work on the value you want for this color  So you can go to values   color  You will find the default ones  but you can also create colors by copping and pasting them  changing the colors and names  Then    when you go to change the color of the floating button  in activity main    you can choose the one you have created   Exemple - code on values   colors with default colors   3 more colors I ve created    lt  xml version  1 0  encoding  utf-8   gt   lt resources gt       lt color name  colorPrimary  gt  3F51B5 lt  color gt       lt color name  colorPrimaryDark  gt  303F9F lt  color gt       lt color name  colorAccent  gt  FF4081 lt  color gt        lt color name  corBotaoFoto  gt  f52411 lt  color gt       lt color name  corPar  gt  8e8f93 lt  color gt       lt color name  corImpar  gt  494848 lt  color gt    lt  resources gt    Now my Floating Action Button with the color I ve created and named  corPar     lt android support design widget FloatingActionButton         android id    id fab          android layout width  wrap content          android layout height  wrap content          android layout gravity  bottom end          android layout margin   dimen fab margin          android src   android drawable ic input add          android tint   ffffff          app backgroundTint   color corPar   gt    It worked for me  Good Luck
