You can change indicator color by overridng it's default style.

Default itemIndicatorStyle :

<style name="Widget.Material3.BottomNavigationView.ActiveIndicator" parent="">
<item name="android:width">@dimen/m3_bottom_nav_item_active_indicator_width</item>
<item name="android:height">@dimen/m3_bottom_nav_item_active_indicator_height</item>
<item name="marginHorizontal">@dimen/m3_bottom_nav_item_active_indicator_margin_horizontal</item>
<item name="shapeAppearance">@style/ShapeAppearance.Material3.NavigationBarView.ActiveIndicator</item>
<item name="android:color">?attr/colorSecondaryContainer</item>

just override the style according to your preference :

<style name="App.Custom.Indicator" parent="Widget.Material3.BottomNavigationView.ActiveIndicator">
    <item name="android:color">@color/blue</item>  
</style>

And then add this line to your bottomNavigationView xml code :

app:itemActiveIndicatorStyle="@style/App.Custom.Indicator"

you can use this function for change indicator color: findViewById<BottomNavigationView>(R.id.bottomNavigationView) .itemActiveIndicatorColor = getColorStateList(R.color.white)

and set this annotatin for your onCreate function @RequiresApi(Build.VERSION_CODES.M) look in the screenshot
