With the new theming in AppCompat, a lot of assets are tinted automatically for you via theme attributes. That has often led me to wonder "where the hell did this color come from?" You can replace your normal theme with this debug theme to help figure out the source of that color.
<!-- You can change the parent around to whatever you normally use -->
<style name="DebugColors" parent="Theme.AppCompat">
<!-- System colors -->
<item name="android:windowBackground">@color/__debugWindowBackground</item>
<item name="android:colorPressedHighlight">#FF4400</item>
<item name="android:colorLongPressedHighlight">#FF0044</item>
<item name="android:colorFocusedHighlight">#44FF00</item>
<item name="android:colorActivatedHighlight">#00FF44</item>

How base colors in Lollipop apply to different UI elements
Unless specified otherwise, all of the below tinting applies to both Lollipop and pre-Lollipop using AppCompat v21. To use the support version of these attributes, remove the android namespace. For instance, "android:colorControlNormal" becomes "colorControlNormal". These attributes will be propagated to their corresponding attributes within the android namespace for devices running Lollipop. Any exceptions to this will be noted by including the "android:" prefix.
All Clickable Views:
-----------
* ripple effect (Lollipop only) -- "colorControlHighlight"
Status Bar:
------------
* background (Lollipop only) - "colorPrimaryDark"

Android: Base Styles for Button (not provided by AppCompat)

How to create custom button styles using Android's AppCompat-v7:21

Introduction

AppCompat is an Android support library to provide backwards-compatible functionality for Material design patterns. It currently comes bundled with a set of styles in the Theme.AppCompat and Widget.AppCompat namespaces. However, there is a critical component missing which I would have thought essential to provide the a default from which we could inherit our styles: Widget.AppCompat.Button. Sure, there's Widget.AppCompat.Light.ActionButton, but that doesn't actually inherit from Widget.ActionButton, which does not inherit from Widget.Button, so we might get some unexpected behavior using that as our base button style, mainly because Widget.ActionButton strictly belongs in the ActionBar.

So, if we want to have a decently normal default button style related to AppCompat, we need to make it ourselves. Let's start by digging into the Android SDK to see how it's doing default styles.
