How to change the floated label color in TextInputLayout

Question

I'm trying to change the color of the floated label "Email" as seen in the screenshot.

Here is the contents of the layout XML:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:paddingLeft="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingRight="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingTop="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
tools:context="com.premedios.streetler.LoginActivity">

<LinearLayout
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="150dp"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:layout_marginTop="10dp">

    <ImageView
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="150dp"
        android:src="@drawable/logo"/>

</LinearLayout>

<LinearLayout
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
    android:layout_marginLeft="20dp"
    android:layout_marginRight="20dp"
    android:orientation="vertical">
    <android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:theme="@style/TextLabel">
        <EditText
            android:id="@+id/email"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:hint="@string/email_hint"/>
    </android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout>
    <android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:theme="@style/TextLabel">
        <EditText
            android:id="@+id/password"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:hint="@string/password_hint"/>
    </android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout>
    <Button
        android:id="@+id/login"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_marginTop="20dp"
        android:background="@color/colorText"
        android:text="@string/LoginButtonText"
        android:textColor="@color/colorPrimaryDark"
        android:textSize="20sp"/>
    <com.facebook.login.widget.LoginButton
        android:id="@+id/facebook_login_button"
        android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:height="44dp"
        android:visibility="gone"/>
    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/signup"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="44dp"
        android:layout_marginTop="10dp"
        android:gravity="center"
        android:text="@string/register_link_text"
        android:textSize="18sp"/>
</LinearLayout>

I would like to change that floated label color the same as the hint color. Any help appreciated.

Use this link

<style name="TextLabel" parent="TextAppearance.AppCompat">
<!-- Hint color and label color in FALSE state -->
<item name="android:textColorHint">@color/Color Name</item> 
<item name="android:textSize">20sp</item>
<!-- Label color in TRUE state and bar color FALSE and TRUE State -->
<item name="colorAccent">@color/Color Name</item>
<item name="colorControlNormal">@color/Color Name</item>
<item name="colorControlActivated">@color/Color Name</item>

you only need to use this style in your textInputLayout
