I would personally stay away from most of the colors in material design. They're very bright and distracts the user from the actual content. My eyes still have to adjust whenever I see the conspicuous red navbar in the new gmail app.

But do take a close look at the text and background section. It's extremely useful for almost anything you design.

Totally! Your comment gelled a few things that always bothered me about material design. It's like they toss many of the colour conventions we've spent a lifetime building.

But if you stick to more neutral colours, the design guidelines are probably fine.
