Pixel users get to experience Google’s new Material You design system for Android. One new feature allows them to capture the main color of the wallpaper they have selected and have it sprinkled throughout the operating system. If this is something that you want on your Android phone but you don’t own a Pixel, we might have some good news for you.
More recent speculation from the rumor mill calls for the Material You design language to be included with the Android 12L release to take place in the middle of next month. Android 12L is a special version of Android 12 designed for devices with larger screens such as tablets and foldables, although it will be available for handsets as well.
To generate a color closest to the one used on the wallpaper selected by the user, a palette generation algorithm creates a palette of five colors that consist of 2 neutral colors, 3 accent colors, and 12 shades of Material color.
Google announced yesterday during the unveiling of the Samsung Galaxy S22 series that the Material You color theming would be offered on the new flagship models.
