May 18th, 2021 Google Material You Google Google just started talking about Android 12 at the Google I/O developer event, and Matias Duarte just introduced a new way to personalize its products called Material You (a riff on Material Design, which Duarte introduced for Android back in 2014). Instead of Google dictating the color palette of all its software, users will be able to pick from customized palettes for the system and apps. And it's not just for Android — Duarte says that your favored designs will follow you from your phone to other platforms, including the web, Chrome OS, wearables, smart displays and "all of Google's products."
