Dynamic Color theming is part of Google, allowing users to have color schemes tailored to their preferences based on the wallpaper they have set on their Pixel phone. So far, Material You integration hasn't made it to the company's Pixel Watch, but that's likely to change soon, thanks to Wear OS 4.
The Pixel Watch interface is set to see some color changes, according to 9to5Google. The post reported some changes on a Pixel Watch 2, with the Quick Settings being replaced by a blue color scheme for icons and buttons throughout the interface. The change was first seen in Wear OS System UI version 1.7.37.x last week; however, not everyone will experience the change immediately.
Screenshots shared by 9to5 show the quick settings panel, which still retains the gray background color for all the settings buttons, but the icons appear blue. The change is also visible in buttons like “Clear All” in the Pixel Watch 2’s notification shade.

The change appears to be part of the Dynamic Color theme, which was discovered earlier this year. 9to5 also notes that the color scheme change is also appearing in Tiles and is expected to appear across the entire interface, including apps, quick settings, buttons, and more.
It's still being decided whether the change in color scheme will be limited to the standard blue tone, or whether Wear OS 4 will allow users to choose from preset colors as the update rolls out to more users in the near future. It's likely that they will be defined based on the watch face.
Previous leaks have revealed that we may see a new toggle that will allow a dynamic color scheme to have color schemes across the entire interface. This could be useful for those who prefer to have the Pixel Watch interface set to their preferred color scheme within the settings.
Meanwhile, a new color scheme has recently taken over the mobile version of the Google Play Store, which recently opted for a blue tone, replacing the previous green colors throughout the interface.
