I have to respectfully disagree here. I would like to be able to choose what that color is. I HATE when I use a picture of my orange cat for a background and all my apps are brown.

If there's some way to override it and choose your own color, I haven't found it.

You can choose it, get a different colored cat

You can choose from several colors, not just your background colors.

Go to Wallpaper & Style > Basic colors. (on a Pixel; it might be slightly different on other phones)

Thanks for the tip! Unfortunately, I don't think it's an option in OxygenOS. I think I've tried LWP+ before and it didn't work. I might give it another shot, though.

As for now, I've got a picture of my calico cat as my home screen wallpaper. She's very white up front so it's more bluish. I like it. My orange boy is my lock screen. So it works out.

I honestly just want it all pitch black because menus on an OLED look fantastic when the background is black. I believe I already had everything blacked out before the update.

Look into the app Repainter. It isn't free and needs root or Shizuku access but does the trick.

Hey man, I know it's been 3 months and idk why I'm only just now seeing this, but you're a lifesaver. Thanks for the tip. It worked!

That's my problem with it. It's nice but they wash the colors out and it feels truly impossible to get a good color out of it.
