How to enable color theme based on new tab image on Chrome

Google plans to bring to Chrome a new feature that automatically picks a color scheme from the current wallpaper image in the new tab page. 

The feature is currently available on the Canary release of Chrome (version 110), but you need to enable it manually by turning on a couple of experimental settings on the “flags” page. 

In previous versions, it was possible to change the color theme of the browser, but it involved selecting the color scheme manually. Although this feature is still available, you can now select a wallpaper image for the new tab page, and the browser will extract the primary colors and configure a color scheme automatically.

This guide will teach you the steps to enable automatically color themes based on the new tab page image for Google Chrome.

To set the color theme on Google Chrome automatically based on the new tab wallpaper, use these steps:

1. Open Google Chrome.

2. Type the following path in the address bar to open the “flags” experimental settings in the specific setting and press Enter:

3. Use the “Customize Chrome Color Extraction” drop-down menu on the right and select the Enabled option.

4. Type the following path in the address bar to open the “flags” experimental settings in the specific setting and press Enter:
