Change underline color and floating hint color of TextInputLayout

Question

I'm using the above property in my TextInputLayout theme to make the underline color of the TextInputLayout green when activated.

      <item name="colorControlActivated">#27e905</item>

Its works fine and I get the following result

But as you can see colorControlActivated also affects the floating hint color. I need a different color for floating hint. Is there any way t do so?

Update 2021

You can use this attribute to control the underline color

app:boxStrokeColor="@color/green"

Answer 2

add these styles in styles.xml

  <style name="textInputLayout.GrayLabel"
    parent="Widget.Design.TextInputLayout">
    <item name="hintTextAppearance">@style/AppTheme.TextFloatLabelAppearance</item>
   </style>

    <style name="AppTheme.TextFloatLabelAppearance"         
     parent="TextAppearance.Design.Hint">
    <!-- Floating label appearance here -->
    <item name="android:textColor">@color/YOUR_COLOR</item>
    <item name="android:textSize">@dimen/YOUR_TEXT_SIZE</item>
</style>

and use it like this:-

        <android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout
            style="@style/textInputLayout.GrayLabel"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_marginTop="@dimen/dimen_8dp">
