If you're using a hex value for the colour, you don't need to start with android:color, so your line should look like:
android:background="#fff092b0" >
The pre-defined colours like white etc need specifying as such using the android:color to identify them. A straight hex value is parsed immediately as a custom color.
Hope that helps !
Steve.
