As details have started to leak out, though, one thing that certainly has our attention is Android 13’s potentially-greater control over Material You.
The folks over at Android Police obtained a handful of screenshots showing four new color palette options that will supposedly go live in Android 13 as an evolution of Material You.Unlike Android 12, which presents users with four choices for different combinations of the same colors, Android 13 will apparently allow users to select between four distinct choices for colors.
Looking first at “Tonal_Spot,” this appears to be virtually identical to Android 12’s current theming system, picking colors from the wallpaper or very similar to the background and using that color palette throughout the system elements and accents.It’s unclear at this point if this will debut in Android 13 or Android 12L, but it’s certainly a welcome alteration to Material You.
