Description

https://material.google.com/layout/structure.html#structure-system-bars

As for which color specifically to use, two possibilities are:

Use Google's metrics and make it the color it would be were a 20% opacity #000000 overlay be placed above Base2

Make the status bar Base2, and blend the app bar in with the tabs and article list, similarly to the high contrast dark theme. (Is the app bar's shadow actually not present in said theme, or is it just not visible due to the #000000 color?)

Research direction

The issue links Google's system-bars guidance and proposes two alternative Solarized status-bar treatments for API 23+. First compare those options with the existing Solarized and high-contrast dark themes; done means selecting and implementing one lower-contrast status-bar color for API 23+.
