Colour palette issue

sani0121 — Sat, 01 Aug 2026 05:19:17 GMT

Hey everyone,

I’m having an issue on One UI 8.5 where Samsung's Color Palette isn't syncing with Google apps and widgets.

When I set a custom color palette, it works fine for Samsung apps, but Google apps (like Gmail, Drive, and the Google Search widget) stay stuck on the default blue/gray colors. Toggling the theme and restarting didn't fix it.

Is anyone else seeing this bug on One UI 8.5, or is there a workaround for it?

This is normal on One UI 8.5. Samsung’s Color Palette only fully applies to Samsung apps, while most Google apps use their own Material You theming, so they may not sync properly.
Workarounds:
Enable “Apply palette to app icons” in Wallpaper & Style
Reapply wallpaper + palette, then restart
Update Google apps (Gmail, Drive, Google)
Otherwise, you’ll have to wait for a system or app update to fix it 👍
