It's neither confirmed nor denied by the docs. ~~However, the docs call the icons masks, which implies that lightness values of the pixels determine the opacity of the rendered color, since that's how masks work in photo editing software~~

Here's some further reading: https://developer.android.com/develop/ui/views/launch/icon_design_adaptive

It explicitly calls out that there shouldn't be masks

icons should be clean edges; the layers must not have masks or background shadows around the outline of the icon.

And icons are XML files, or fancy SVGs, I was under the impression it would just pick apart the shapes and force all the fills to be the same color.

I even tried doing some fancy work with dithering, but it didn't render
