Add these drawables with customized design/color to your drawable folder and add to style

<style name="MyTheme" parent="@style/MyCustomTheme">
        <item name="android:textSelectHandle">@drawable/text_select_handle_middle</item>
        <item name="android:textSelectHandleLeft">@drawable/text_select_handle_left</item>
        <item name="android:textSelectHandleRight">@drawable/text_select_handle_right</item>
</style>

This 'pin' is called "text select handle" To change it you need to use these attributes: text_select_handle_left and text_select_handle_right

I think the colourAccent influences the colour of that pin, try changing the colour of colourAccent in color.xml
