Gmail has started rolling out version 2023.06.11x, which reverts the change that was made. The question is whether Google made this change intentionally due to feedback it received, or if it's simply a tweak until some issues.
It was interesting to see how some users on Twitter reacted to this change. The Gmail icon that is red is now easier to find in the notification shade and many people seem to prefer it that way.
Google didn't provide an explanation for this change, but it's likely that the feedback has reached the company. We'll have to wait and see if this change will be rolled back in future updates.

Gmail is one of the most popular email programs in the world, perhaps even the most popular, especially on smartphones. It's hard to think of the logo without the red color, because that's probably one of the reasons people recognize it. With this change, the icon is hard to recognize.
We can understand why some app logos are hard to recognize without their corresponding colors. For example, when you chat on Facebook you always think of the color blue, and when you talk about Google Keep you think of yellow. YouTube 's color is red, as is Gmail and other similar services.
