Google could finally give Pixel phones proper Material You color controls

• A new Android 17 leak suggests Google is working on deeper Material You customization for Pixel phones.
• Pixel users may soon be able to pick custom accent colors in the Wallpaper & style settings instead of choosing from preset options.
• The leak also shows new color intensity presets like Neutral, Soft, Bright, and Bold.

Google’s Material You design language may finally be getting one of its most requested upgrades. A new leak suggests that Pixel phones could soon let users pick custom accent colors through the Wallpapers & style app instead of relying only on Google’s preset palettes.

A video showing the feature in action was shared by Telegram leakers Mystic Leaks, who reportedly obtained an early build of a future Android 17 release. The leak also shows additional blur effects across the Android UI, but the bigger news here is the new color picker in the Wallpaper and style settings.
