"dim wallpaper" has no effect

Bug Reports

Toggling this setting doesn't appear to do anything for me. By my eye, the wallpaper is always dimmed, whether the setting is on or off. I would love it if I could turn it off and have the wallpaper be more vibrant.

To reproduce:

  1. Set a wallpaper (I usually apply some theme)

  2. Notice the wallpaper is dimmed

  3. Toggle the “dim wallpaper” setting to off

Expected: the wallpaper gets brighter

Actual: the wallpaper doesn't change

    The wallpaper is only dimmed in the all-apps list and various other screens, but not the home screen. Would you mind checking again if you can reproduce that behavior?

    I have this same problem, on my Pixel 8! When I set a new wallpaper, it looks vibrant in the preview, but it's always dimmed, and toggling the switch makes no difference.
