Media player in Android 12 DP2 picks up your accent colors - Android

While we're still waiting for Android 12's bigger redesign to land, Google is also working at countless other smaller visual changes, and that includes this latest tweak. In Developer Preview 2, the media player now picks up on accent color cues from the system rather than trying to match album artwork, as it did previously.

Left: Android 12 DP1 (which generally matches Android 11's appearance). Right: Android 12 DP2.

In the examples above, preset "styles" with font and color combinations show that Android 12 DP2's media player responds to those color cues to adjust the background, while Android 12 DP1 (and Android 11) instead inherit a color determined by the album art.
