Change color of preference header list

I am creating an application for android 4.0 tablet with a certain color scheme. I am using Theme.Holo for my activities. I am using Theme.Holo.Light for my PreferenceActivity. I have been able to customize the action bar using styles. I create preference header list using onBuildHeaders method and group different preferences into fragments (much like the android system Settings). I also want to change the color of header list elements to match my application color scheme but I haven't been able to figure out how. Please click on the link to see my preference activity.

Is it possible to change this color scheme and how?

Preference headers use the listViewStyle xml attribute to determine it's style. If you'd like to customize that, then override that setting with your own style. Eg:

themes.xml

<style name="Theme.Custom" parent="android:Theme.Holo.Light.DarkActionBar">
    <item name="android:listViewStyle">@style/MyListViewStyle</item>
</style>

styles.xml

<style name="MyListViewStyle" parent="@android:style/Widget.Holo.Light.ListView">
    <item name="android:background">@color/custom_color</item>
    <item name="android:listSelector">@drawable/my_selector</item> 
</style>
