It’s not just chrome, but calendar, calculator, my status bar and everything turned to that ugly yellow color and just yesterday they were normal white.
I don’t have any night mode/color interesting/blue filter settings on so I don’t know what changed.
I work in construction and my phone constantly opens things in my pocket when I sweat while at work.
My guess is that Material You applied a colour scheme based on your wallpaper
I hate it. It looks like shit 90% of the time. Just the most horrible colour combos. And with my old ROM you couldn’t even turn it off or switch the colours. What a fun feature.
I love the idea, but it does need more work, yeah.
Or maybe less work, actually. Some combinations are just unnecessary, too.It could be nice and maybe with simpler pictures it actually works so that it all blends well. But with photos I’ve taken I’ve had shit luck. A picture with green grass and grey concrete made a colour combo of the most awful shades of green and brown imaginable. None of those colours were in the actual photo either, it just sorta blended it all into colour vomit.
You don’t want your ui to be 1980s beige, but like if the plastic has been sitting in a smokers house? Weird.
But yeah, this is material you. Its a feature that makes apps match the colors of your wallpaper, and if you go to “wallpaper and style” in the settings app (at least on my pixel 3, its possible it’d be somewhere else on a phone from a different manufacturer, or potentially even newer phones from google) you can pick other color options
It almost definitely is material you. Go to “wallpaper and style” in the settings and you should be able to change ui colours. Either to a different colour from your wallpaper, or a varied set of predetermined colours.

I can’t remember what it’s called, but there is a feature that changes your theme colors to match your background. Changed your background or lock screen lately?
I should add I’ve had Nova Launcher for probably 10 years and (without having this issue before) changed nothing. I currently have an LG V60, and use IFTTT to periodically update my phones wallpaper to the top post in r/earthporn. Aside from that, I don’t change my phones personalization settings and have never seen this happen before. I’m also currently running Android 13.
Did you accidentally change the theme colour? Not sure what launcher you’re using but maybe long press in an empty spot on the home screen and see if you can change the theme tint.

I fixed the issue I was having, I just bought a S23 Ultra yesterday and it fixed all the problems I was having!
