Google is experimenting with wallpaper-based theming in Gemini, which is part of the Google app.
The Google app on Android and the Play Store still use default colors, white and blue.
More specifically, the changes have begun to appear in Gemini’s floating overlay, while other elements still use default colors.
Google introduced its wallpaper-based theming engine back in 2021, and eventually popularized it as Material You. Since its rollout, the majority of Google’s own apps have adopted it. And while Material You has already been succeeded by the newer Material 3 Expressive design philosophy, a few exceptions, such as the Play Store and parts of the Google app, still remain and use the traditional white-and-blue color scheme.
But Google may now be on its way to bringing these remaining apps on par with the others, and it appears to be starting with Gemini.
