Google Tests 4 Android Theme Styles and Color Slider in Canary 2606

Summary
Android Canary 2606 adds an experimental Material 3 Expressive color slider that lets Pixel users pick nearly any theme color, moving a previously leaked feature into a public test build.
Google is also testing 4 preset styles—Neutral, Soft, Bright and Bold—that change the look of Quick Settings and the widget picker before users fine-tune colors.
The same Canary release includes broader UI blur effects and a Quick Settings shortcut for switching keyboards, with earlier reports also noting adjustable keyboard vibration and other Pixel-focused tweaks.
Canary builds are experimental and Google has not said these features will reach beta or stable Android, but the update offers an early look at design changes under consideration for future Pixel software.
