title: Android Support Toolbar colorControlNormal color
body: <p>I would like to set my spinner drop down color to white, whilst keeping the other elements in my theme the default color. Here is the situation:</p>
  
  <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/nNE4G.png" alt="Toolbar and spinner"></p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
          android:layout_height="@dimen/action_bar_height"
          android:layout_width="match_parent"
          android:minHeight="?attr/actionBarSize"
          android:background="?attr/colorPrimary"
          app:theme="@style/ToolbarTheme.Base"
          app:popupTheme="@style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Light"&gt;
  
          &lt;Spinner
              android:layout_width="wrap_content"
              android:layout_height="wrap_content"
              android:layout_centerVertical="true"/&gt;
  
  &lt;/android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And the style is:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;!-- My base app theme --&gt;
  &lt;style name="AppTheme.Base" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar"&gt;
      &lt;item name="colorPrimary"&gt;@color/primary&lt;/item&gt;
      &lt;item name="colorPrimaryDark"&gt;@color/primary_dark&lt;/item&gt;
      &lt;item name="colorAccent"&gt;@color/theme_tint&lt;/item&gt;
  
      &lt;!-- &lt;item name="colorControlNormal"&gt;#FFFFFF&lt;/item&gt; --&gt;
  
      &lt;item name="android:windowNoTitle"&gt;true&lt;/item&gt;
      &lt;item name="windowActionBar"&gt;false&lt;/item&gt;
      &lt;item name="android:typeface"&gt;sans&lt;/item&gt;
      &lt;item name="android:windowBackground"&gt;@color/background_primary&lt;/item&gt;
  &lt;/style&gt;
  
  &lt;!-- My Toolbar theme --&gt;
  &lt;style name="ToolbarTheme.Base" parent="@style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark.ActionBar"&gt;
      &lt;item name="colorControlNormal"&gt;#FFFFFF&lt;/item&gt;
  &lt;/style&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>If I was to put <code>&lt;item name="colorControlNormal"&gt;#FFFFFF&lt;/item&gt;</code> in the App theme (commented out above) then the spinner drop down will do to white BUT the checkbox will also turn white. So how can I get the spinner ONLY to go white?</p>
