Answer 1

You need to add following in your theme defined under styles.xml,​

<item name="android:actionBarStyle">@style/Widget.Styled.ActionBar</item>
<item name="android:actionModeBackground">@drawable/actionmode_background</item>`

Answer 2

create a new style like below and use that style in your activity theme

<style name="styleActionMode" parent="@style/Widget.AppCompat.ActionMode">
<item name="background">your color code</item>
<item name="actionMenuTextColor">your color code</item>
