Can’t change background color on MaterialButton without change colorAccent

1st Solution

You can use app:backgroundTint to change back ground color of MaterialButton

<com.google.android.material.button.MaterialButton
                android:id="@+id/bittrexJsonViewButton"
                android:layout_width="0dp"
                android:layout_height="@dimen/min_height"
                android:layout_marginStart="@dimen/half_default_margin"
                android:layout_marginEnd="@dimen/half_default_margin"
                app:backgroundTint="@android:color/holo_orange_dark"
                android:text="@string/json_view"
                app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="@+id/binanceJsonViewButton"
                app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
                app:layout_constraintStart_toEndOf="@+id/binanceJsonViewButton"
                app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="@+id/binanceJsonViewButton" />

2nd Solution

MaterialButton uses colorPrimary as background when button is in active state and colorOnSurface when disabled. So, you can define it in your theme and apply it on material buttons
