In addition to the new color matching, we also get the ability to expand the clock to view hours, minutes, and seconds. This is a nice touch, even though not a huge feature or improvement. To access the expanded clock, simply swipe down on the standard lock screen clock. One disappointing aspect of this feature is that the color matching is not preserved when you swipe into the expanded clock format. Subtle features are always a nice surprise, especially when they compliment your customization style. It would be nice to see the expanded clock offer color matching in the Oreo Beta 2 update.
