Login screen is shape_button1.xml and shape_button_focused1.xml For epg color look for ll_cat_title in activity_new_epg.xml (a few of them)

What I do in those cases I take capture, I open photoshop, I select the color with the dropper and copy the hexadecimal, then I look for that code in apkeditor and that's it, I just choose the hexadecimal of the new color

some colors are just not in colors.xml they are defined in layout files , as atomant247 has shown above , not that common but
I know certain apps will use this method especially if the APK has been updated and the dev wants to add something different he will use the layout files sometimes.
Point to note for future reference ,look for an app named DEV ASSISTANT

Its free and what it does is when an app is running you can call up an xray screen that lets you point to areas or button on the screen and it
shows you in text output what/where files each item are in the apk, cuts a lot of time off like for instance the top bar of the EPG guide , if you had run the dev assistant it would first tell you the name of the bar inside the apk and the color value it will also tell you which files you need to edit. :) easy when you know how , point to note does not work to well on an emulator but on a tablet or phone works great , bit fiddly to use but worth the effort.

Hello mate, I know you saying that dev assistant doesn't work too well on emulator but just wondering if you know how to get the assistance/xray working on Bluestacks 5?

I use four emulators Memu being my go to one not because its better its just because i am used to it ,
the problem with using an emulator is to activate the xray mode you have to press and hold down the middle button on the bottom of your phone or tablet screen , and an emulator just does not emulate this to well not to sure about bluestacks that may be different , i have a cheap tablet in one of my drawers and if i am really stuck i use that as there is more screen space than a phone

Spent several days trying to get dev assistant working on Bluestacks, before giving up. Get a cheap android phone or tablet and save yourself the headache
