Change default actionbar popup menu background color

I try to change the default color of the popup menu by using styles:

<style name="AppTheme" parent="android:Theme.Holo.Light.DarkActionBar">
    <item name="android:popupMenuStyle">@style/PopUp</item>
</style>

<style name="PopUp" parent="@android:style/Widget.PopupMenu">
    <item name="android:popupBackground">@color/white</item>
</style>

I have hooked up this theme in app manifest. 

<uses-sdk
    android:minSdkVersion="14"
    android:targetSdkVersion="19"/>

<application
    android:name=".MyApplication"
    android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
    android:label="@string/app_name"
    android:theme="@style/AppTheme">

However this does not change the default grey background of the popup. Any ideas whats wrong?

I changed

<style name="AppTheme" parent="android:Theme.Holo.Light.DarkActionBar">
    <item name="android:popupMenuStyle">@style/PopUp</item>
</style>

to

<style name="AppTheme" parent="android:Theme.Holo.Light">
    <item name="android:popupMenuStyle">@style/PopUp</item>
</style>

now it works. However it seems that using android:Theme.Holo.Light.DarkActionBar you cannot change the style of the popup through xml.
