use this

• app:elevation="6dp"
• app:backgroundTint="@color/fab1"

insted of this

• android:elevation="6dp"
• android:backgroundTint="@color/fab2"

    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_gravity="bottom|end"
    android:layout_marginRight="16dp"
    android:layout_marginBottom="164dp"
