You should redefine the color accent for Preferences in your styles.xml for example:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
    <style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
        // your relevant items 
        <item name="preferenceTheme">@style/PreferenceTheme</item>
    </style>


   <style name="PreferenceTheme" parent="@style/PreferenceThemeOverlay.v14.Material">  
        <item name="colorAccent">@color/colorAccent</item> // here for the ripple color
        <item name="android:textColorPrimary">@color/textColorPrimary</item>
        <item name="android:textColorSecondary">@color/textColorSecondary</item> 

    </style>
</resources>

parent="@style/PreferenceThemeOverlay.v14.Material" it is to get a material style like , you can use this parent by addind in your build.gradle : compile 'com.android.support:preference-v14:25.3.1'

Sorry for my english.

Hope this help .
