Tools:background="#ffXXXXXX" - Cannot Resolve Symbol

My code has been running OK, but I noticed that in the daily_list_item.xml, Android Studio highlighted the color "#ff507ef7" assigned to tools.background to red. The code compiles despite this error:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:paddingBottom="20dp" android:paddingLeft="64dp" android:paddingRight="32dp" android:paddingTop="20dp" tools:background="#ff507ef7">

Hi Luke. Please be sure to format your code in code blocks so that it is easier to read and that way easier to debug.
