With Big Sur they included a landscape wallpaper. Did they do that here or is this abstract colours one the only wallpaper?
 
Someone please share Thumbnails folder from User/System/Library/Desktop Pictures.
It's hidden folder with double previews for wallpaper settings window.

To be clear, you are saying that about the picture the OP posted? If so, we will agree to disagree. I get it is a subjective preference with no right or wrong answer.
Yeah I was referring to the macOS 12 wallpaper. I guess I like it more cause its mostly purple. I did not like
Big Sur one cause of too many colours.

All the "new" desktop pics/wallpapers for Monterey are downright ugly, in my opinion.
If this is the future, I don't want to go there... (sigh)

This and the Big Sur wallpapers are the best ones Apple has given us so far. So tired of landscape postcard pictures
I prefer abstract wallpapers, so I agree. I think a real-life photo is too detailed and distracts your attention away from apps. I feel like in a way, this is a return to form like how Mac OS X has "Aqua" blue / graphite abstract wallpapers for years.
