How to change the pressColor of a drawer menu item?

[victorwpbastos]

Current behavior

When I press a drawer menu item the background becomes dark gray. I want to change this color. I see in the docs that the DrawerItem component receives a prop called pressColor, but I didn't find a way to pass this prop. How can I change this pressColor prop to another color?

To test the behavior, just open the provided snack and do a long press on some drawer menu item. The background color is always dark gray.

Expected behavior

I should be able to change the pressColor to another color of my choice.

For me it's a bug. If I can't change the pressColor, I believe it's a bug.
