I love the concept.

Here's the problem: "We built upon this insight to generate unique Material palettes for everyone, derived from a personal signal—wallpaper—that can be applied to their entire experience."

I like my wallpapers to be striking, geometric, interesting, but ultimately distinctive from the rest of my phone, where I do want colours.

So I hope there will be another way to generate signals for the phone colour pallette.

Yup. My home screen wallpaper is just black, because I find anything else distracting when I'm looking for an app. My lockscreen wallpaper is just some artwork I like, which has nothing to do with what I would like as a color palette for the rest of the OS. I hope there's a way to decouple this from the wallpaper and it's just an automatic default that can be changed...
I use an app that rotates my background with pictures I took on my phone, I wonder if the UI colors will change every two hours as well :)
