Get button-clicked color of theme

Is there a way, to get the button-clicked colour based on the current theme? The best would be a xml @color that I can use.
I am planning to use this colour for my ImageButtons when pressed.

I have found an workaround. When you set this as background, the colour is changed automatically by the operating system according to the theme as if it was a button.

android:background="?android:attr/selectableItemBackground"

If you want to use the attribute on pre API 11 devices you can use:

android:background="?attr/selectableItemBackground"

If you just want to get a specific color one time, you could hold the button down on your device and screenshot it. Then open the image in MS Paint or something to grab the colors used.
