STYLE

By this point you should be using AppCompat as the main library for backwards compatibility in your android apps, R.I.P. ActionBarSherlock.

Your activity’s theme parent should be something similar to Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar — because if your parent has an auto-inflating toolbar you’ll run into issues with this approach — for example Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar would need to use <item name=”windowActionBar”>false</item> in order to avoid inflating a second toolbar at runtime.

Here’s a Toolbar style that includes a dark popup theme, and implements your accent colors for checkable or selectable items assuming you haven’t overridden them with other styles.
