Google Assistant color changes suggest Android 12 theming support
July 02, 2025
A prevalent rumor surroundingAndroid 12is native theming support. In theory, the operating system would pull colors from your wallpaper and then automatically theme the rest of the system with complementary colors. However, just how far would this theming system go?
Evidence now suggests that it could even affect theGoogle Assistanttheme. According to a tipster sharing withXDA-Developers, they spotted their Assistant interface with wildly different colorizations. Unfortunately, the folks atXDAwere not able to reproduce the colorizations for themselves. Still, this evidence does rack up with other information we already know about Android 12.

See the screenshots below:
Obviously, that green coloring for the third Google Assistant theme doesn’t even come close to being complementary to the wallpaper coloring. It’s possible the theming element wasn’t working correctly or there was some other bug.
Elsewhere the screenshots shared withXDAalso show off the rumored “My Actions” feature. This would be a more easily accessible version of Routines, which are already readily accessible in Assistant. However, the rumored My Actions feature wouldn’t likely be tied to Android 12 specifically. It would probably just roll out to everyone with an Assistant-capable device.
Regardless, we will likely learn a lot about the ability to change the Google Assistant theme next week duringGoogle I/O. Stay tuned!
