Android 15 QPR1 Beta 3 tweaks the color of Themed icons

With Android 15 QPR1 Beta 3, Google has tweaked the color design of Themed icons in both the light and dark modes.

With the system dark mode enabled, Themed icons are appreciably lighter than before, especially the circular background. The inner/actual icon also sees a corresponding adjustment.

If it weren’t for the search bar, I could see there being some confusion about whether you’re actually using the dark theme.

Old (Beta 2) vs. new (Beta 3)

Meanwhile, in light mode, that inner icon becomes brighter for a somewhat pastel shade.

It remains to be seen whether this is the final design for the stable launch of Android 15 QPR1 in December, or whether Google will revert the change before then.

Sound off in the comments on what you think about this tweak!
