The color palette feature in the One UI user interface has been available since version 4.0, i.e. the system Android 12. After its debut, Samsung updated this tool several more times through One UI 5.0 and One UI 5.1. Now it would Android 14 could bring another major update to the Material You color palette in One UI 6.0.  

While users of phones and tablets Galaxy, who like to customize their user interface, these color palette additions have been very well received over the years by smartwatch users Galaxy Watch they are left behind. But now would be the perfect time for a change. Samsung smart watch with system Wear OS 3.5 and One UI Watch The 4.5 does have highly customizable watch faces, but that's where it ends. In fact, apart from the watch faces themselves, they don't offer any other options to customize the color scheme of the user interface.

With the care and attention the color palette feature is getting in One UI for phones and tablets, it's starting to look like Google and Samsung aren't paying attention to the system Wear OS with such care. Samsung is currently working on a series of watches Galaxy Watch6, which are expected to be released in the summer, and the new generation of them could benefit from several UI customization features.

Galaxy Watch they absolutely need Material You colors 

Although the flexibility of the dials Galaxy Watch nice, the current personalization options don't even come close to what you'll find in the regular One UI superstructure for smartphones and tablets. User interface Watch The UI completely lacks the characteristic Material You style known from the "adult" platform. And I wish that wasn't the case, although it can be argued that smartwatch user interfaces shouldn't be as complex as smartphones to maintain ease of use and optimize performance.

But the problem is that Galaxy Watch after all, they are very standard devices in design, which can become boring after a while of use. But what cannot be changed in terms of design can easily be solved with software. But after a while of experimenting with dials, you may no longer be interested in them either. Even though they are often very pleasant, they still do not reach the playfulness of z dials Apple Watch.

New version of the system Wear The OS is on its way and I personally hope that Google or Samsung will consider adding the Material You color palette to the system Wear OS 4 / One UI Watch 5 also so that you can better match the phone environment with the one in the watch. System Android 14 may represent another big step forward in this regard, if only because, as Google itself says: "color is personal." In my opinion, it should be the same for the system Wear OS and smartwatch. Just the watch with Wear The OS is the most advanced wearable solutions in conjunction with Android by phone and it wouldn't be nice if it stagnated in development.
