Black and white ambiences
I suggested manual ambience colour selection here, as the algorithm fails now and then. Then I came to think, from my experience, the algorithm picks only colours, not black or white or anything within.
For example: There are many pictures which would look very nice as backgrounds but having to select an ambience colour for a BW picture screws it up a bit.
So, side with manual setting, would it be possible to tweak the algorithm to use gray colour theme if the background picture is detected as such? Also not only black-on-white style colours, but white-on-black would look gorgeous (and it could make a nice night ambience, right?)
I'm definitely for a b/w ambience! I like to have b/w background images as well and now I'm forced to tweak the image hue to some usable colour (since the ambience otherwise defaults to the not-so-pleasant brown). White on black would be brilliant.

Nothing fancy, just a plein, clear, good design like the Jolla phone itself. Would be perfect with the white TOH !
