    #FF0099CC
    #FF9933CC
    #FF669900
    #FFFF8800
    #FFCC0000

    
        @color/blue
        @color/purple
        @color/green
        @color/orange
        @color/red
        @color/darkblue
        @color/darkpurple

In onCreate()

int[] androidColors = getResources().getIntArray(R.array.androidcolors);
int randomAndroidColor = androidColors[new Random().nextInt(androidColors.length)];
view.setBackgroundColor(randomAndroidColor);
