Set color to unselected tab indicator in tab layout

Question

I am using tablayout provided by google and everything is working fine except the color of the unselected tab indicator. I am unable to set the unselected tab indicator color.

 android:layout_width="match_parent"
 android:layout_height="match_parent">

 <android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout
     android:layout_width="match_parent"
     android:layout_height="wrap_content"
     android:theme="@style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark.ActionBar">

     <android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
        android:id="@+id/toolbar"
         android:layout_width="match_parent"
         android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"
         android:background="?attr/colorPrimary"
         app:layout_scrollFlags="scroll|enterAlways"
         app:popupTheme="@style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Light" />

     <android.support.design.widget.TabLayout
         android:id="@+id/tabs"
         android:layout_width="match_parent"
         android:layout_height="wrap_content"
         app:tabMode="fixed"
         style="@style/MyCustomTabLayout"

         />
 </android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout>

 <android.support.v4.view.ViewPager
     android:id="@+id/viewpager"
     android:layout_width="match_parent"
     android:layout_height="match_parent"
     app:layout_behavior="@string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior" /> </android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout>
