Steps to reproduce

If you have a Samsung device running One UI 4 or newer, download Nextcloud and the UI will be pink.

Tested on a Galaxy A40 and Galaxy S21 Ultra. Both running One UI 4-4.5.

Expected behaviour

The UI should match the color of the color palette and should not be pink.

Actual behaviour

The whole UI in Nextcloud is pink regardless of what color palette is selected in the settings. For example, Google Calculator is correctly blue/black, while Nextcloud is pink.

Nextcloud does not implement Material You color, only Material 3 styles. The UI color is based on the server color instead (or the user background color on NC 25+).

So maybe starting with material you, the chosen system color should be used as primary color?

Closing as the issue is fixed when changing the nextcloud ui color to something slightly blue rather than black.

I think this issue may need to be reopened -- the theme color of the web UI is used, but that's not Material You. Material You involves using the system theme and colors on the phone.

I would also like to see the app with the color based on the Material You monet colors of your phone and not your server.

After adding this, maybe a toggle button could be added for disabling the monet colors for user who don't like it?
