Change text selection color (accent color) Xamarin Android

I've searched quite a lot now, but don't really know what to search for. I got a Xamarin project and I would like to change the highlight color and the little drag bars which you get when you select text. I'll include a picture so you can see what I'm talking about.

enter image description here

I want to get rid of that pink color and make it green.

Thanks in advance!

Now that I know it had to do with 'colorAccent' I figured it out. If anyone else is having this problem, here you got a little guide:

Select your_app.android in the solution explorer. Then go to Resources > Values > Style.xml. In the style.xml you'll find this:

<!-- colorAccent is used as the default value for colorControlActivated
         which is used to tint widgets -->
    <item name="colorAccent">#70c1b3</item>

You can change the hex code in the color accent and it'll change the accent color throughout the whole app (alerts, selecting texts etc.)

If your colorAccent is pink then get pink. If you change ColorAccent color to green then it's work perfectly.
