Material Some of the most intriguing aesthetic changes to Android in a long time have been brought about by you. The advent of the Monet theme engine has given Android 12 a feeling of personalization in addition to making Android easier to use on devices with various screen sizes.
The UI and supported apps on phones running Android 12 can extract colours from the applied wallpaper and subsequently use them. However, it severely restricts how much you may personalise your phone. Before now. Let's look at how Android 12 allows you to select your own custom colours.
Customization on Android 12 Is A Problem
The Monet theme engine is fairly good at what it does, but it has certain weaknesses. Android 12 offers you a limited number of colour palettes to choose from to begin with. The colours that the machine extracts are frequently very realistic and complement the wallpaper beautifully, so credit where credit is due.
While some individuals may prefer a constant theme throughout, others of us would value the option to select our own accent colour to be used throughout the entire UI. There are a few "base colours" in Android 12 that you may use to replace the colours in your wallpaper, but they are, to put it mildly, sparse.
There is an app for everything on Android, which is a fortunate operating system.
Choose a Custom Accent Color Using LWP+
A live wallpaper programme called LWP+ was created especially to address this problem and let users choose any accent colour for their Android 12-based phones.
The app's functionality is brilliantly simple. It presents itself as one of the several Android live wallpaper apps while requesting various rights to modify system colours. The programme then allows you to choose any accent colour of your choosing, tricking the Monet engine into believing that the applied wallpaper has the specified colour in the dominating tones.
Install LWP+ (Free)
To set up unique accent colours for the entire system:
To import your current background for personalization, open the app and select Import home-screen wallpaper. If you touch Wallpaper type and choose the Cropped image option, you can also select a new wallpaper from the phone's storage.
When the wallpaper of your choice has loaded, scroll down and turn on the Use custom colours toggle.
Choose a primary hue that you like. You will mostly notice this accent colour in and around the system UI. A secondary and tertiary colour are also options.

Your Android 12 phone should now display the newly chosen accent colour across the whole user interface (UI). This programme, along with other fantastic Android customization tools, may entirely transform the appearance of your phone.

Since this is a live wallpaper app, we are aware of any battery-life worries you could have. However, there was no appreciable difference in my phone's battery level when I was testing the app.
Apps with personalised colours are fun.
As more devices adopt Android 12, developers have started following the Material You standards to make their apps compatible with the accent hue used across the operating system. With the use of this workaround, you may make any accent colour of your choosing even for third-party apps.
