Sounds good! @ujjwalagrawal17 can you include a link to Google's guideline for reference. :)

It's the correct way to use colorPrimaryDark on status bar and colorPrimary on toolbar as suggested by @ujjwalagrawal17

@maskaravivek you can find it in Google's Android studio developer manual here

#3F51B5

<!--   a darker variant of the primary color, used for
       the status bar (on Android 5.0+) and contextual app bars -->
<color name="colorPrimaryDark">#303F9F</color>

<!--   a secondary color for controls like checkboxes and text fields -->
<color name="colorAccent">#FF4081</color>

Dropping our primary / dark blue colors into Google's material design Color Tool shows how the colors should be used visually.

Can we change the primary/primary dark color to any one of these?

Pinging @neslihanturan , as the current color scheme was created by her.

If I had to choose between Image 1 and Image 2 in your comment two days ago, I guess I would choose Image 2 :-)

Should I close this issue?
