by

This is the best tool that you can use for all views and its FREE many thanks to @Jérôme Van Der Linden.

The Android Holo Colors Generator allows you to easily create Android components such as EditText or spinner with your own colours for your Android application. It will generate all necessary nine patch assets plus associated XML drawable and styles which you can copy straight into your project.

UPDATE 1

This domain seems expired but the project is an open source you can find here

https://github.com/jeromevdl/android-holo-colors

try it

this image put in the background of EditText

android:background="@drawable/textfield_activated"

enter image description here

UPDATE 2

For API 21 or higher, you can use android:backgroundTint

<EditText
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:hint="Underline color change"
        android:backgroundTint="@android:color/holo_red_light" />

Update 3
Now We have with back support AppCompatEditText

Note: We need to use app:backgroundTint instead of android:backgroundTint

<android.support.v7.widget.AppCompatEditText
   android:layout_width="match_parent"
   android:layout_height="wrap_content"
   android:hint="Underline color change"
    app:backgroundTint="@color/blue_gray_light" />

Update 4
AndroidX version

  <androidx.appcompat.widget.AppCompatEditText

    app:backgroundTint="@color/blue_gray_light" />
