Look at the error reported:

values-v26.xml:7: error: resource android:attr/colorError not found

This one (and the next few) are all because these android attributes were only added in API 26 (that's why they're referenced from values-v26). You need to update your compileSdkVersion to at least 26, although I'd highly recommend updating to the newest API 28.

Edit your app level's build.gradle file:

android {
    compileSdkVersion 28
    ...
}
