Google is testing Material You's 'Dynamic Colors' for Chrome on desktop

Reddit user u/Leopeva64-2 noticed a new experimental feature in the desktop version of Google Chrome Canary. The browser can now extract the main color of the wallpaper (from the new tab page) and set it as the browser's theme color, similar to Material You's 'Dynamic Colors' on Android.

When you enable the new feature, the Chrome interface (tabs, omnibox, bookmarks bar) changes color based on the background image of the new tab.

Fortunately, based on what we see in these videos, users may still be able to choose their own browser color if they don't like the one provided.

In order to use the function, you need to:

1. Go to the following address: chrome://flags/#customize-chrome-color-extraction.
2. There you will need to activate the setting and restart the browser for the changes to take effect.
3. The feature will be complemented by the chrome://flags/#ntp-comprehensive-theming flag, which will add more colored elements to the new tab page.
