You need to change color primary and color primary dark in style.xml where your app theme color code was written
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
<item name="colorPrimary">#color/colorPrimary</item>
<item name="colorPrimaryDark">#color/colorPrimary</item>
<item name="colorAccent">#color/colorPrimary</item>

change from colorPrimaryDark to colorPrimary to all the item in style.xml file.
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
<item name="colorPrimary">#color/colorPrimary</item>
<item name="colorPrimaryDark">#color/colorPrimary</item>
<item name="colorAccent">#color/colorPrimary</item>
</style>

I have searched a solution for this and I tried multiple solutions but none of them worked for me.
Here is my style.xml

<!-- Customize your theme here. -->
<item name="colorPrimary">#color/colorPrimary</item>
<item name="colorPrimaryDark">#color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
<item name="colorAccent">#color/colorAccent</item>
</style>
<style name="AppTheme.NoActionBar">
<item name="windowActionBar">false</item>
<item name="windowNoTitle">true</item>
</style>
<style name="AppTheme.AppBarOverlay" parent="ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark.ActionBar" />
<style name="AppTheme.PopupOverlay" parent="ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Light" />
</resources>
How can I change the 3 dot menu icon color?

1. Add a new drawable of three dot menu of the color you want in the project.
2. Create a new style
<style name="OverFlow" parent="Widget.AppCompat.ActionButton.Overflow">
<item name="android:src">#drawable/overflow</item>
</style>
3. Apply that style to your main style theme<item name="actionOverflowButtonStyle">#style/OverFlow</item>

Android: ActionBar will not change its style?

I'm following the Android Documentation and have correctly copied this code:
<resources>
<style name="CustomTheme"
parent="Base.Theme.AppCompat.Light">
<item name="android:actionBarStyle">#style/MyActionBar</item>
<item name="android:actionMenuTextColor">#color/actionbar_text</item>
</style>
<style name="MyActionBar"
parent="#android:style/Widget.Holo.ActionBar">
<item name="android:background">#color/background</item>
<item name="android:titleTextStyle">#style/MyActionBarTitleText</item>
</style>
<style name="MyActionBarTitleText"
parent="#android:style/TextAppearance.Holo.Widget.ActionBar.Title">
<item name="android:textColor">#color/actionbar_text</item>
</style>
</resources>
I've set the activities manifest to "CustomTheme" and have the right information in strings.xml so I don't see what the problem would be. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Try removing the android: tag and also, you have to set the Parent ActionBar to AppCompat's ActionBar.
<style name="CustomTheme"
parent="Base.Theme.AppCompat.Light">
<item name="actionBarStyle">#style/MyActionBar</item>
<item name="actionMenuTextColor">#color/actionbar_text</item>
</style>
<style name="MyActionBar"
parent="Base.Widget.AppCompat.ActionBar">
<item name="background">#color/background</item>
<item name="titleTextStyle">#style/MyActionBarTitleText</item>
</style>
<style name="MyActionBarTitleText"
parent="TextAppearance.AppCompat.Widget.ActionBar.Title">
<item name="android:textColor">#color/actionbar_text</item>
</style>

</style>
<style name="MyActionBar" parent="#style/Widget.AppCompat.ActionBar.Solid">
<item name="titleTextStyle">#style/MyTitleTextStyle</item>
</style>
<style name="MyTitleTextStyle" parent="#style/TextAppearance.AppCompat.Widget.ActionBar.Title">
<item name="android:textColor">#color/actionbar_text_color</item>
</style>
To change my toolbar text color to white, but it's still black!
What do I need to change?

Are you sure that you are using Toolbar? If yes, then your myAppTheme should extend from Theme.AppCompat.NoActionBar ... Toolbar is a replacement of ActionBar. Therefore if you want to use it then you must remove ActionBar styles from your xml.
I suggest you read this blog post. And here is a nice implementation on how to change title color.
