The problem doesn\u2019t seem isolated to a specific device, either. Reports are coming in from Galaxy S25 users, and the replies make it evident that other devices are also affected.<\/p>\n<p>The bug seems to affect only Google apps and is reportedly due to a clash between how Google handles app styling and Samsung\u2019s software. As explained by user MohamedEIngar on Reddit, Samsung has changed the default color palette, which is now causing issues with Google\u2019s Material You design system. He also explained a fix using a forked version of Shizuku that can revert the colors back to the pre-One UI 8.5 style.<\/p>\n<p>If using tools like Shizuku isn\u2019t in your wheelhouse, you can also try adjusting your color palette in Wallpaper and style settings, as some users have reported that this can temporarily fix the glitch.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"e_mg\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" sizes=\"(min-width: 64rem) 51.25rem, 80vw\" title=\"Color Palette settings Samsung phone\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Color-Palette-settings-Samsung-phone.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Color-Palette-settings-Samsung-phone-30w-64h.jpg 30w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Color-Palette-settings-Samsung-phone-1000w-2167h.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Color-Palette-settings-Samsung-phone-665w-1440h.jpg 665w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Color-Palette-settings-Samsung-phone-498w-1080h.jpg 498w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Color-Palette-settings-Samsung-phone-399w-864h.jpg 399w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Color-Palette-settings-Samsung-phone-175w-380h.jpg 175w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Color-Palette-settings-Samsung-phone-554w-1200h.jpg 554w\" alt=\"Color Palette settings Samsung phone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Color-Palette-settings-Samsung-phone.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Adamya Sharma \/ Android Authority<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s unclear whether Samsung is actively working on a fix for this bug. One user shared a screenshot of a conversation with Samsung\u2019s customer support, in which the representative said the company will \u201cupdate the color to a darker tone in the next update.\u201d However, since this isn\u2019t a formal company statement, you should take it with a pinch of salt.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, you can report the issue to Samsung using the Members app. Hopefully, the company will roll out a fix soon.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for being part of our community.
