Is it possible that applying ```val colorModifier...

# compose

Is it possible that applying

val colorModifier = Modifier.background(CustomColor)

in a Surface

Surface(modifier = colorModifier) {...}

Show a different color than in a Box

Box(modifier = colorModifier) {...}

Not sure what could be the reason behind it but I am having this behavior where the color on the surface looks a bit more whitish. For a bit more context. It is a Composable very deep in the Composable tree, a leaf in the tree basically.

As far as I know, Surface is a Material Design system component that applies an elevation color tint. This tint visually represents elevation by adding a subtle color overlay that enhances depth perception.

Humm, interesting. I swear god Surface was a compose-foundation thing but what you say matches exactly the behavior I am seeing. I am applying shadow too. So it could change things as well.

You can just look at the package of the Surface function, it’s definitely material

[Zach Klippenstein (he/him) [MOD]]

It also uses material theming

I had the same 'problem'. In my case 'surfaceContainerHighest' was the right ColorScheme parameter name.
