You probably need to change the colour values, because it seems to depend on your theme, as Niaj Mahmud said.

You should have something like this :

For example, you have

colors.xml

  <color name="colorPrimary">#FF808080</color>

--> this is the colour you see when designing.

colors.xml (night)

  <color name="colorPrimary">#FFFFFFF</color>

--> this is the colour you see when running the app.

You can practice here if you want to exercise the theme changed on android (this is in Kotlin, but the same course exists in Java).
