Changing the trailing icon color in ExpansionTile

I need to change the color of the trailing keyboard_down_arrow in ExpansionTile. I have tried wrapping it in Theme widget and setting accent, primary and IconTheme also, but nothing seems to work.

Theme(
                  data: Theme.of(context).copyWith(
                    dividerColor: Colors.transparent,
                    accentColor: Colors.black,
                  ),
                  child: ExpansionTile(
                    //
                    title: Text("Some Text"
                    ),
                    childrenPadding: EdgeInsets.symmetric(horizontal: 15),
                    children: [
                      
                    ],
                  ),
                ),

ExpansionTileTheme(
        data: const ExpansionTileThemeData(iconColor: Colors.black), // set color here
        child: ExpansionTile(
          subtitle: subtitle,
          tilePadding: const EdgeInsets.symmetric(vertical: 12, horizontal: 16),
          childrenPadding: const EdgeInsets.all(16),
          shape: const Border(),
          title: title,
          children: children,
        ),
      );

ExpansionTile has a properties:

iconColor: Colors.black,
collapsedIconColor: Colors.orange,

It changes the color of the trailing icon depending on if the tile is expanded or not.

If you need more dynamic/general solution;

    ExpansionTileThemeData expansionTileTheme(ColorScheme colors) {
    return ExpansionTileThemeData(iconColor: Colors.white);
  }

use this theme data in your theme.dart file that you use for theme light & dark like this

   ThemeData light([Color? targetColor]) {
    final colorScheme = colors(Brightness.light, targetColor);
    return ThemeData.light().copyWith(
      // unselectedWidgetColor: colorScheme.onPrimary,
      expansionTileTheme: expansionTileTheme(colorScheme),);
  }

in main.dart

 MaterialApp.router(            
  theme: theme.light(Color),
  );

This will affect your whole project, so you won't need to implement this color in every expansion tile that you will use.

I have latest solution with both open/close state:

Theme(
    data: Theme.of(context).copyWith(
      unselectedWidgetColor: Colors.white, // here for close state
      colorScheme: ColorScheme.light(
          primary: Colors.white,
      ), // here for open state in replacement of deprecated accentColor
      dividerColor: Colors.transparent, // if you want to remove the border
    ),
    child: ExpansionTile(
        ...
    ),
),...

I found the solution to the above problem.

set unselectedWidgetColor property to the color you want in Theme class in flutter.

To change the trailing icon Color you can use the fallowing parameter in Expansion Tile

 trailing: Icon(
              Icons.keyboard_arrow_down,
              color: Colors.green,
            ),

Example:

 ExpansionTile(
                //
                title: Text("Some Text"),
                trailing: Icon(
                  Icons.keyboard_arrow_down,
                  color: Colors.green,
                ),
              ),

And for theme Color use color: Theme.of(context).primaryColor,
