How to change AppBar Elevation Color in Flutter

Elevation has an important role in material design. It helps to create a shadow according to the elevated distance. In this Flutter tutorial, let’s learn how to change the AppBar elevation color.

The AppBar widget has an elevation property through which you can apply elevation to the AppBar. If you want to change the default color of elevation then you should use shadowColor property. See the code snippet given below.

AppBar(
          title: const Text(
            'Flutter AppBar Elevation Color',
          ),
          elevation: 20,
          shadowColor: Colors.orange,
        ),

You will see an orange shadow color in the output.
