A video created by the Google Design team reveals much bolder color options for the Material You design language in Android 14. Inside Google, this new look is known as “Fidelity.” 9to5Google found that the bolder colors are not yet available in Android 14, but it was able to show how vibrant colors that Android takes from your wallpaper end up in your phone’s themes.

Three examples that were shown by 9to5Google include “hot pink, sports car red, lime green, and jet black.” The color theme of the app clearly changes to reflect the base wallpaper color picked by Android. In dark mode, the same base wallpaper color is used for the app’s color theme but if wallpaper that is too dark is selected, some of the base colors will not stand out against the dark background.
