- Well in that case it was probably a transient server problem on Googles side. If it comes up again I'll have to investigate then, no sense in doing it now with such a vague error message
- First, I work with the ActionBar first, as the status bar is not always accessible for changes. Also, darkening is easier than lightening in terms of hue and saturation. In the case of darkening the colors would be more uniform but it would still create undersaturated greyish colors or might invert the brightness relationship by accident (lighter color on top) if I go the easy way. Ill have to look into doing a lightness shift whithout skewing saturation or hue in rgb if I get the time. But for now I think it works well enough in most cases (and much better than it did before in extreme ones).
The general problem is that such calculations on colors are hard to get right (by which I mean getting pleasant results all the time) withoug introducing a lot of corner cases where it could go wrong, and to be honest the coloring of the detail view is just a nice effect, nothing really functionally relevant 
Apart from that the suggestion is sound, I am just not very good at working with color values so directly...
In any case thanks for your feedback on both issues!
