I was able to figure out a way to change the hamburger icon color with this code I wrote this code in my style.xml

<resources>
    <!-- Base application theme. -->
    <style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.DayNight.NoActionBar">
        <!-- Customize your theme here. -->
        <item name="colorPrimary">@color/colorPrimary</item>
        <item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
        <item name="colorAccent">@color/colorAccent</item>
        <item name="drawerArrowStyle">@style/DrawerIcon</item>
        <item name="actionOverflowButtonStyle">@style/MyActionButtonOverflow</item>

    </style>

    <style name="AppTheme.NoActionBar">
        <item name="windowActionBar">false</item>
        <item name="windowNoTitle">true</item>
    </style>


    <style name="MyActionButtonOverflow" parent="Widget.AppCompat.Light.ActionButton.Overflow">
        <item name="color">#ffd700</item>
    </style>
    <style name="DrawerIcon" parent="Widget.AppCompat.DrawerArrowToggle">
        <item name="color">#ffd700</item>
    </style>

    <style name="AppTheme.AppBarOverlay" parent="ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark.ActionBar" />

    <style name="AppTheme.PopupOverlay" parent="ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Light" />


</resources>

Now add the below code to your Navigation view java activity which in my case is the HomeActivity

toolbar.setTitleTextColor(getResources().getColor(R.color.colorelabGold));

Now you get
