Can't set color to white in Snackbar - Android

I am using https://github.com/nispok/snackbar library for Snackbar implementation. I want this snackbar to be white, so I wrote code like this : 

SnackbarManager.show(Snackbar.with(context)
    .text(R.string.you_have_to_be_logged_in)
    .color(Color.WHITE)
    .actionLabel(R.string.log_me_in)
    .actionColorResource(R.color.lime_500)
    .actionListener(new ActionClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onActionClicked(Snackbar snackbar) {
            LogInDialog logInDialog = new LogInDialog();
            logInDialog.show(ft, "LogInDialog");
        }
    }));

As you can see in line 3 I set background color to white, but it doesn't change anything. The background is still dark. But, if I change background color to .colorResource(R.color.lime_500) the snackbar will change to this color.

I have also tried .colorResource(R.color.white) and .color(Color.parseColor("#ffffff").

Why the snackbar cannot be white?

this will change the color or snackbar to blue

Snackbar snack = Snackbar.make(view, "Replace with your own action", Snackbar.LENGTH_LONG)
    .setAction("Action", null); 
ViewGroup group = (ViewGroup) snack.getView();
group.setBackgroundColor(ContextCompat.getColor(MainActivity.this, R.color.red));
snack.show();

Snackbar snackbar = Snackbar.make(linearLayout, getResources().getString(R.string.add_number), Snackbar.LENGTH_LONG);
snackbar.setActionTextColor(Color.WHITE);
View snackbarView = snackbar.getView();
snackbarView.setBackgroundColor(Color.RED);
snackbar.show();

This was indeed a bug and has been fixed in version 2.8.0

The problem was that it was assumed that a color value of -1 meant that the color was not defined and should use the default Material Design spec values. Turns out Color.WHITE IS -1 thus it was ignored :P

Now, the "undefined" color value is set to -10000; this value should not cause any problems.
