How to change the ripple color of the DrawerToggle (back arrow)

Question

I want to change the ripple color of the DrawerToggle, but I couldn't find any way to do so. My style file looks like this. This changes the other menu items backgrounds but doesn't work for the back arrow. How do I change the ripple color of the Drawer Arrow

<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
    <!-- Customize your theme here. -->
    <item name="colorPrimary">#FF0000</item>
    <item name="colorPrimaryDark">#660000</item>
    <item name="android:textColorPrimary">#FFFFFF</item>
    <item name="android:textColorSecondary">@android:color/white</item>
    <item name="android:actionMenuTextColor">@android:color/white</item>
    <item name="drawerArrowStyle">@style/DrawerArrowStyle</item>
    <item name="android:actionBarItemBackground">@drawable/my_ripple_borderless</item>
    <item name="selectableItemBackground">@drawable/my_ripple</item>
    <item name="android:selectableItemBackground">@drawable/my_ripple</item>
    <item name="listChoiceBackgroundIndicator">@drawable/my_ripple</item>
    <item name="android:listChoiceBackgroundIndicator">@drawable/my_ripple</item>
</style>


<style name="DrawerArrowStyle" parent="Widget.AppCompat.DrawerArrowToggle">
    <!--<item name="spinBars">false</item>-->
    <item name="color">@color/drawer_icon_color</item>
</style>

I already know this, I set a ripple drawable to `android:actionBarItemBackground `. I don't know what attribute I should set for arrow. — osrl, Mar 17 '15 at 15:31

Add this style

<style name="AppTheme.Toolbar">
    <item name="colorControlHighlight">@color/colorControlHighlight</item>
</style>

to your toolbar

<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
        android:id="@+id/toolbar"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"
        android:background="?attr/colorPrimary"
        app:theme="@style/AppTheme.Toolbar"
        app:popupTheme="@style/AppTheme.PopupOverlay" />
