What are the default color values for the Holo theme on Android 4.0?
AndroidColorsAndroid 4.0-Ice-Cream-SandwichAndroid ThemeAndroid Problem Overview
Does anyone have access to a list of the default colours used in the Holo them (light and dark) on Android 4.0?
I'm looking for things like list backgrounds, primary and secondary text, ActionBar, etc.
Google gives some examples at the Themes and Color style guidelines, but they don't really go into the actual color values being used. I can grab them from the images, but I’d rather use something a little more accurate.

If you want the default colors of Android ICS, you just have to go to your Android SDK and look for this path: platforms\android-15\data\res\values\colors.xml.
Here you go:
<!-- For holo theme -->
<drawable name="screen_background_holo_light">#fff3f3f3</drawable>
<drawable name="screen_background_holo_dark">#ff000000</drawable>
<color name="background_holo_dark">#ff000000</color>
<color name="background_holo_light">#fff3f3f3</color>
<color name="bright_foreground_holo_dark">@android:color/background_holo_light</color>
<color name="bright_foreground_holo_light">@android:color/background_holo_dark</color>
<color name="bright_foreground_disabled_holo_dark">#ff4c4c4c</color>
<color name="bright_foreground_disabled_holo_light">#ffb2b2b2</color>
<color name="bright_foreground_inverse_holo_dark">@android:color/bright_foreground_holo_light</color>
<color name="bright_foreground_inverse_holo_light">@android:color/bright_foreground_holo_dark</color>
<color name="dim_foreground_holo_dark">#bebebe</color>
<color name="dim_foreground_disabled_holo_dark">#80bebebe</color>
<color name="dim_foreground_inverse_holo_dark">#323232</color>
<color name="dim_foreground_inverse_disabled_holo_dark">#80323232</color>
<color name="hint_foreground_holo_dark">#808080</color>
<color name="dim_foreground_holo_light">#323232</color>
<color name="dim_foreground_disabled_holo_light">#80323232</color>
<color name="dim_foreground_inverse_holo_light">#bebebe</color>
<color name="dim_foreground_inverse_disabled_holo_light">#80bebebe</color>
<color name="hint_foreground_holo_light">#808080</color>
<color name="highlighted_text_holo_dark">#6633b5e5</color>
<color name="highlighted_text_holo_light">#6633b5e5</color>
<color name="link_text_holo_dark">#5c5cff</color>
<color name="link_text_holo_light">#0000ee</color>
This for the Background:
<color name="background_holo_dark">#ff000000</color>
<color name="background_holo_light">#fff3f3f3</color>
You won't get the same colors if you look this up in Photoshop etc. because they are set up with Alpha values.
