Testing background color espresso Android

Question

Is it possible to check if the background color matches a given color with espresso?

Update:

I made a custom matcher, similar to what @Irfan suggested, thanks!

public static Matcher<Object> backgroundShouldHaveColor(int expectedColor) {
    return buttondShouldHaveBackgroundColor(equalTo(expectedColor));
}
private static Matcher<Object> buttonShouldHaveBackgroundColor(final Matcher<Integer> expectedObject) {
    final int[] color = new int[1];
    return new BoundedMatcher<Object, Button>( Button.class) {
        @Override
        public boolean matchesSafely(final Button actualObject) {

            color[0] =((ColorDrawable) actualObject.getBackground()).getColor();


            if( expectedObject.matches(color[0])) {
                return true;
            } else {
                return false;
            }
        }
        @Override
        public void describeTo(final Description description) {
            // Should be improved!
            description.appendText("Color did not match "+color[0]);
        }
    };
}

In my tests I have the following matcher for testing EditText color:

public static Matcher<View> withTextColor(final int color) {
    Checks.checkNotNull(color);
    return new BoundedMatcher<View, EditText>(EditText.class) {
        @Override
        public boolean matchesSafely(EditText warning) {
            return color == warning.getCurrentTextColor();
        }
        @Override
        public void describeTo(Description description) {
            description.appendText("with text color: ");
        }
    };
}

And usage is :

onView(withId(R.id.password_edittext)).check(matches(withTextColor(Color.RED)));
