try TextInputLayout :

<android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout
android:textColorHint="#F7B7C2"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">

<EditText
    android:id="@+id/myid"
    android:textColor="@android:color/black"
    android:hint="something"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent" />
</android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout>

Update:

Change your "colorAccent" in your Apptheme in styles.xml file with the color you need

For those who want to know the answer after the comments. Just put this on the style.xml file. Thx a lot

<item name="colorAccent">@android:color/holo_blue_dark</item>

You can try with direct color code something like this

android:textColorHint="#4C33FF"
