I just took screenshots of an Android green text bubble and the https://www.android.com/get-the-message/ https://www.android.com/get-the-message/ site, and used Photoshop's eyedropper tool to compare colors. They're the exact same shade of green, #48dd8f.
But it's not just you! The green on Google's site looks visually brighter because the entire bubble is on a blue background. On iPhone, the green is normally on a white background.
Now, try setting your iPhone to Dark Mode in Settings, and you'll find that the green bubbles are still #48dd8f green and the text is still #ffffff pure white; it's harder to read on a black background, IMO.
- nomel 4y agoNo, not for me. I'm seeing much darker on my phone: On the page: #75d993 In the video: #58bf5d From my iPhone (iOS 15.6): #317332 Edit: scratch that! Apparently I turned on “increase contrast” years ago.
- GranPC 4y agoThe background color of the bubbles changes in a gradient kind of way, depending on their vertical position on screen. That may explain the disparity you're seeing.
- treesprite82 4y agoCould you upload a screenshot from your phone? Searching images online I see plenty that roughly match the colors they're using on the video/website, but none as dark as your iPhone.

- nomel 4y agoYes. Apparently I turned on the “increase contrast” Accessibility option years ago. I’ll be leaving it on.
