+## Customization
+
+The recommended way to customize the background color is by using the `app:backgroundTint` attribute
+
+```xml
+<com.andremion.counterfab.CounterFab
+        android:id="@+id/counter_fab"
+        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
+        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
+        app:backgroundTint="#009688"
+        android:src="@drawable/ic_add_white_24dp" />
+```
+
