title: Difference between res/color and res/values/colors.xml in Android resources folder
body: <p>Is there any reason, why in the resources folder we have two folders in which we can define colors? (according to android developer page <a href="http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/resources/providing-resources.html#ResourceTypes">http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/resources/providing-resources.html#ResourceTypes</a>). </p>
  
  <p>This is the quote from android developer page:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>values/<br>
        XML files that contain simple values, such as strings, integers, and colors.</p>
    
    <p>color/<br>
        XML files that define a state list of colors. See Color State List Resource</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>Is there any difference between Colors stored in res/colors and res/values? Which one is more preferable?</p>
