Change Status Bar color when entering Contextual Action Mode

Question

I have an application that uses theme attribute (colorPrimaryDark) to color the Status Bar on Android v21+:

This is working fine. Now, when user long-presses a list item and enters the contextual action mode, I am able to color the CAB bar using attribute actionModeBackground so it looks like this:

So the action bar is gray, which is what I want, but the status bar is still colored using the theme dark color. I don't want that, I want to change it to dark gray or black.

How can I do this? I don't see any theme attribute that would work here.

    private int statusBarColor;      @Override     public boolean onCreateActionMode(ActionMode mode, Menu menu) {         if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP) {             //hold current color of status bar             statusBarColor = getWindow().getStatusBarColor();             //set your gray color             getWindow().setStatusBarColor(0xFF555555);         }         ...     }      ...      @Override     public void onDestroyActionMode(ActionMode mode) {         if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP) {             //return to "old" color of status bar             getWindow().setStatusBarColor(statusBarColor);          }         ...     } });
