SwitchCompat color on Lollipop

I have a SwitchCompat in the action bar (v7.Toolbar) of my activity. I want it be colorStructure when off and colorAccent when on. It works fine on pre-Lollipop, but on Lollipop the activated switch is drawn in a color which I did not define anywhere. It looks like "material_deep_teal_200". Thats my only style definitions:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
	<style name="Theme.Default" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
		<item name="colorPrimary">@color/colorPrimary</item>
		<item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
		<item name="colorAccent">@color/colorAccent</item>
		<!--<item name="android:windowNoTitle">true</item>-->
		<item name="windowActionBar">false</item>
		<item name="colorSwitchThumbNormal">@color/colorStructure</item>
		<item name="colorControlNormal">@color/colorPrimary</item>
		<item name="colorControlActivated">@color/colorAccent</item>
		<item name="colorControlHighlight">@color/colorAccent</item>
		<!--<item name="selectBarStyle">@style/DefaultSelectBar</item>-->
	</style>
</resources>

And that's the begin of the activity xml:

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
              xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
              xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
              android:layout_width="match_parent"
              android:layout_height="match_parent"
              android:orientation="vertical"
	>

	<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
		android:id="@+id/toolbar"
		android:layout_height="wrap_content"
		android:layout_width="match_parent"
		app:theme="@style/Widget.AppCompat.Toolbar"
		app:popupTheme="@style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Light"
		android:background="@color/colorPrimary"
		android:paddingRight="@dimen/abc_dropdownitem_text_padding_right">

		<FrameLayout
			android:layout_width="match_parent"
			android:layout_height="wrap_content"
			android:paddingRight="@dimen/abc_action_bar_icon_vertical_padding_material">

			<ImageButton
				android:layout_width="wrap_content"
				android:layout_height="wrap_content"
				android:id="@+id/helpButton"
				android:src="@drawable/ic_help_large"
				android:background="#00000000"
				android:layout_gravity="center"/>

			<android.support.v7.widget.SwitchCompat
				android:layout_width="wrap_content"
				android:layout_height="wrap_content"
				android:id="@+id/master_switch"
				android:clickable="true"
				android:checked="true"
				android:gravity="center"
				android:layout_gravity="right"
				/>

		</FrameLayout>

		</android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar>

So what do I need to change to make the switch have the same custom colors on KitKat and Lollipop?

Thanks

Actually the code as presented above works fine - also on Lollipop. I must have done a mistake during validation after cleaning up the problematic code.

Originally the problem was when I also had a configuration in values-v21. I assume that there was a typo or something like that which got lost when I was simplifying all into the default xml file.

So in short, the code as presented works, and I assume that having configurations in values-v21 would not cause a problem either.
