Where can I find defined colors in android

Issue

I've created the project from default template Bottom Navigation Activity. I found that the background color for BottomNavigationView is #2D2D2D for dark theme. I defined it in colors.xml, but I'm not sure that it's good solution. Is there any pre-defined colors in system(smth like @android:color/theColorThatINeed)? Where can I see all of them?

Solution

Unfortunately there isn't a single place to find all the 'system colours'. You can either find them through documentation, which is usually easy with the material components (which is where BottomNavigationView is from), or by trawling through the source code. For your particular example the colour you're after is ?attr/colorSurface, which is in the documentation and the source code.
