I've just learnt that Chrome on Android will not use the color defined in meta[name=theme-color] if it's too bright to ensure contrast with the UI.

The "media" attribute is now supported for meta[name=theme-color] elements in Chrome Canary 🐤. It means installed PWAs can now adjust the status bar color on dark/light mode changes with just HTML.
See it in action in Safari 15 and Chrome 93 ⬇️
