android:background="#rrggbb"

You can use android:background=" " to set the color of ImageButton and some android widgets. ('#rrggbb' or '@android.color/blue', '@android:color/transparent'). you can follow this example as your reference.

<ImageButton
        android:id="@+id/btnGreen"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:background="@android:color/transparent"
        android:src="@drawable/my_image.png"/>

you can use android:backgroundTint insted of android:background

<ImageButton
   android:id="@+id/imgImageTab"
   android:layout_width="@dimen/_30sdp"
   android:layout_height="@dimen/_30sdp"
   android:src="@drawable/ic_menu_home"
   android:backgroundTint="@color/blue" />
