Create a Prefernce Style in your style.xml file and define your Primary Secondary and Tertiary Colors there.

For Example:

<style name="SettingsFragmentStyle">

    <item name="colorPrimary">@color/toolbar_color</item>
    <item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/toolbar_color_dark</item>
    <item name="android:textColorPrimary">@color/toolbar_color_dark</item>
    <item name="android:textColorSecondary">@color/toolbar_color_dark</item>
    <item name="android:textColorTertiary">@color/toolbar_color_dark</item>
    <item name="android:background">@color/white</item>
    ...
</style>

Then add this Preference theme in your Current AppTheme, like this:

<style name="AppTheme" parent="AppBaseTheme">

    <!-- ALL OTHER THEMES -->
    <item name="preferenceTheme">@style/SettingsFragmentStyle</item>

</style>

I hope this helps.
