It’s interesting Google is focusing so heavily on “color” as a primary design element (redesigned Mail, Drive, Docs, etc., unique individualized color palettes(? if I understand that correctly)) when one of the most common tests for UI designs is the grayscale test. I mostly try to avoid senseless “update hate,” but I have accidentally opened the wrong Google App multiple times after the redesign and am constantly grateful for Apple’s “reduced motion/transparency” settings when I have headaches.

One of the animations on the page shows how the UI can be reduced to B&W.
