Strange onClick highlighting for CardView

Question

I'm running into some strange behavior for a CardView that I have set as clickable. Clicking it highlights all the views inside the card slightly differently, which makes it look weird when you stop pressing on the card.

Here is what it looks like when the card is clicked . Ideally I'd like the entire card to turn pink when your finger is on it. When you let go, the card evenly fades back to white.

Any advice is appreciated!

You should be applying your drawable to the root CardView if you want the background to change for the whole card - I'm not sure why you have different background drawables applied to multiple ViewGroup 's.

<android.support.v7.widget.CardView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:id="@+id/cv"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_margin="5dp"
    android:clickable="true"
    android:foreground="@drawable/button_rect_list_normal"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content">

EDIT: Changed android:background to android:foreground
