Apple is considering adding color sampling sensors to future Apple Watch models that would allow watch faces to match the color of the user’s band and clothing (via Apple Insider).
In a patent this week granted by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, titled “Electronic Devices with Color Sampling Sensors,” Apple describes how light sensors under the Apple Watch display could measure the color of external objects, with the aim of matching the background of the currently displayed watch face with the color of the wearer’s clothing and band choice.
