Why is my Apple Music black and not colorful

For example my Apple Music looks like this while I’ve seen others have vibrant colors while portraying music while mine doesn’t. I want to know how to make it colorful and vibrant. I am on an updated version of iOS too.

Apple Music app weird UI issues and glitches. Apple Music app weird UI issues and glitches. Please see screenshots attached. Concerning local library files. This is while using 'search'. It does not happen when navigating to albums directly. Also: after using the music app for a couple of minutes, app behaviour gets weird. Scrolling doesn't work, opening an album doesn't work, .. Separate issue: syncing to iPhone 13 mini on iOS 26.1 does not go as expected: albums show correctly (ignoring above glitches) on the mac but on the iPhone it's as if 'album is a compilation of songs by different artists' gets undone, and all songs of a compilation become individual albums again. M4 Pro MacBook Pro 14" on Tahoe 26.1 Example 1: song numbering gets aligned to the middle of the song Example 2: normal behaviour at first Example 2b: going back to albums - songs disappear Example 3: Jackie Brown on the mac - one album Example 3b: Jackie Brown on the iPhone - three albums All ideas are welcome. I already tried deleting music cache and rebooting.

Why does my apple music look so different? I have found that my apple music is just plain black while a lot of peoples change based on the song they’re listening to. I tried to see if i missed an update but it says it is fully updated.

That Music app display looks normal to me.

If you’re playing a station, there can be animated art for some, and there’s a related animation setting.
