Midnight City by Charlie Henson
This Seattle cityscape may be on the edge of Material Design, it's a slick style with a seductively dark color scheme and some sweet light effects at play. And just check out that reflection on the bay!
Night Plane by Jason Zigrino
"Come fly with me, let's fly, let's fly away…" This night scene, inspired by the flight cards in Google Now, just makes me wanna pack and overnight bag and jet off to someplace exciting and fun. Disneyland, anyone?
Lines by Shane Wignall
Simple name for a simple wallpaper that plays well on screens large and small. It almost reminds me of a present that's about to be unwrapped. And the bright blue contrasting with the two tones of grey makes this a wallpaper that fits right in with your business attire or something more flashy for a night out on the town.
Teal Paper by ShiningWingPony
This cool-colored wallpaper may be a homage, but the execution is fabulous and the tones here are and mesh well with a large variety of home screens and icons. Also, green, purple, and blues? Anyone else seeing a Little Mermaid vibe going here? Just me? Okay, then...
Ultimate Material Collection by J Amourette
This ridiculously large collection of wallpapers, cultivated by J. Amourette and some enterprising themers, has material wallpapers in every color under the sun. No matter what color scheme you're going for, there's a wall in here for you. And while many are Android-themed, they look at home on any device on your table.
