        <item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/primaryDarkColor</item>
        <item name="colorPrimaryVariant">@color/primaryLightColor</item>
        <item name="colorOnPrimary">@color/primaryTextColor</item>
        <item name="colorSecondary">@color/secondaryColor</item>
        <item name="colorSecondaryVariant">@color/secondaryDarkColor</item>
        <item name="colorOnSecondary">@color/secondaryTextColor</item>
        <item name="android:windowBackground">@color/activityBackground</item>
    </style>
</resources>

...and:night/colors.xml

<color name="primaryDarkColor">#430F58</color>
<color name="primaryColor">#F7F2F8</color>
<color name="secondaryColor">#9e9e9e</color>
<color name="secondaryDarkColor">#707070</color>
<color name="primaryTextColor">#eceff1</color>

class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity() {

    override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main)

Answer 1

Try <item name="colorSurface">@color/someColor</item> in your dark mode theme.

Answer 2

If you want ActionBar color be same when Dark Mode and Usual mode. You can use

supportActionBar?.setBackgroundDrawable(getDrawable(R.color.color))

In OnCreate()

I use android:background="@color/colorPrimary" in layout

This only changes the background for the layout and not the actionbar – Careworn
