Sounds good! @ujjwalagrawal17 can you include a link to Google's guideline for reference. :)
It's the correct way to use colorPrimaryDark on status bar and colorPrimary on toolbar as suggested by @ujjwalagrawal17
@maskaravivek you can find it in Google's Android studio developer manual here
#3F51B5
<!-- a darker variant of the primary color, used for
the status bar (on Android 5.0+) and contextual app bars -->
<color name="colorPrimaryDark">#303F9F</color>
<!-- a secondary color for controls like checkboxes and text fields -->
<color name="colorAccent">#FF4081</color>
Dropping our primary / dark blue colors into Google's material design Color Tool shows how the colors should be used visually.


Can we change the primary/primary dark color to any one of these?

I had attached 2 combinations
Image 1 has our Primary color and Primary Dark color 2 shades darker than primary color
Image 2 has our Primark Dark color and primary color 2 shades lighter than primary dark color
Shades are selected from https://coolors.co/0c609c-0a4f80-2e5b87-00376d-685044
I want feedback from you so that we can change any one color.
@nicolas-raoul @maskaravivek what do you think?
Pinging @neslihanturan , as the current color scheme was created by her.
If I had to choose between Image 1 and Image 2 in your comment two days ago, I guess I would choose Image 2 :-)
Should I close this issue?
