Oportunity to pick any accent color on Android

Nikita

It seems that Accent colors of the interface generated from the main color with some algorithm as Google uses in their Material You. It's always kind of mix of accent color with black or white. So the colors aren't colorful enough for me. I haven't found any combination that I like on both white and balck themes. I think the realisation on Windows is better. You can select any color and you actually see that color everywhere.

Operating system: Android

I used the same color system on Android before Google changed it to the new color scheme. I will not change it back, sorry.

timo, Oh. But could you add a color picker to set slightly different hues than we have in presets now?

timo

What kind of hue are you missing?

timo After trying that site I see that I can't find color that I like. There are limited range of colors I can get with this algorithm. They are always desaturated 🙁 So it seems that there is no need to add more hues.

Maybe you can add checkbox that skip some steps and makes colors more saturated as a result, I don't how much changes it requires to do so.

I tried to make a color I like but it's possible only if I set every field on that color.

But in normal way it's desaturated

Diarium with that color (I changed the color for full system) And the same image but after saturation. It seems more cheerful to me.
